Chest Wide Open Lyrics by Lyrics Born

Now Look What You’ve Done, Lyrics Born! Greatest Hits

2015

[Chorus]
I walked for miles, oh with my head in my hand
Ooh, ooh, she ripped my chest wide open
Once I was a child, I′m now surely a man
Ooh, ooh, she ripped my chest wide open
She ripped my chest wide open
She ripped my chest wide open, yeah
[Verse 1]
We were head over heels, I was doing cartwheels
No romance, no appeals, just the way my heart feels
Wild and fine from New Orleans, tattoo on her thigh
Of a fleur-de-lis in a little silk dress
That she bought secondhand, she'd do a little dance
I could see her silhouette
Good God, how I used to knock that out
Rattle the walls in that shotgun little house
Good lord, how we used to party hard
Half-dead flying home from Mardi Gras
The shit we did, we should have been arrested
Shit, I fell for her, well, i should have guessed it
Should have known then that no one can tame that
Fire on the Bayou, no way to contain that
Would′ve exchanged vows, church with stained glass
Now I'm passed out, laid across the train tracks
[Chorus]
I walked for miles, oh with my head in my hand
Ooh, ooh, she ripped my chest wide open
Once I was a child, I′m now surely a man
Ooh, ooh, she ripped my chest wide open
She ripped my chest wide open
She ripped my chest wide open, yeah
[Verse 2]
We were naked in the dark drinkin' Megasmart
Out of mismatched mugs and mason jars
She was actin' strange, then I had this dream
We were at a cotillion, a masquerade
She disappeared behind an elaborate stage
Followed by 5 gentleman, I gassed the way
The bed was empty, I sat up straight
Were we together last night or did I masturbate?
The drapes are drawn and now baby's gone
Its sweet like she just put her fragrance on
The first night I tripped 'cuz we partied crazy
As time went by, though, It happened daily
Circling the crib would be random riff raff
Phone numbers written on the back of Zig Zags
I asked her about it, she dismissed it slightly
Then, we would have sex and it'd be forgotten
[Chorus]
I walked for miles, oh with my head in my hand
Ooh, ooh, she ripped my chest wide open
Once I was a child, I′m now surely a man
Ooh, ooh, she ripped my chest wide open
She ripped my chest wide open
She ripped my chest wide open, yeah
Where did we go wrong, where did we go wrong?
Can I make it right, can I make it right?
[Verse 3]
One hot night we were feeling breathless
Hit the dive bar for some reckless mischief
Baby always knew how to make an entrance
Dudes winkin' at her like they knew our business
I pinched a fish, she threw a tantrum
She stormed off yellin' headed for the restroom
I pounded a side car, popped a Seven
She was takin' her time so I hit the men's room
Familiar screams from the next latrine
Why did I look, I already knew what I'd see
Straddlin' some dude with her boots in the air
She smiled back at me, threw a deuce in the air
If its a few franks, here I am at the cribbo
Scanning the place that I glanced out the window
Hand full of drapes or the hand full of zippos
Laugh in his face, come dance with me kiddo
[Chorus]
Oh, she ripped my chest wide open
Oh, she ripped my chest wide open
Ooh, she ripped my chest wide open
She ripped my chest wide open
