Jericho Lyrics

[00:28.93] I'll try to keep myself open up to you
[00:32.80] That's a promise that I made to love
[00:36.37] When it was new
[00:38.06] "Just like Jericho" I said
[00:40.72] "Let these wall come tumbling down"
[00:45.50] I said it like I finally found the way
[00:50.86] To keep the good feelings alive
[00:54.52] I said it like it was something to strive for.
[00:59.81]
[01:02.77] I'll try to keep myself open up to you
[01:07.61] And approve your self expression
[01:11.16] I need that, too
[01:12.28] I need your confidence, baby
[01:15.80] And the gift of your extra time
[01:19.88] In turn I'll give you mine
[01:22.51] Sweet darling, it's a rich exchange
[01:27.34] It seems to me
[01:28.91] It's a warm arrangement!
[01:32.27]
[01:36.32] Anyone will tell you
[01:39.59] Just how hard it is to make and keep a friend
[01:44.52]
[01:47.10] Maybe they'll short sell you
[01:49.06] Or maybe it's you
[01:51.56] Judas, in the end
[01:54.45] When you just can no longer pretend
[01:58.25] That you're getting what you need
[02:01.89] Or you're giving out anything for them to grow and feed on.
[02:07.75]
[02:11.02] I'll try to keep myself open up to you
[02:16.43] It gets easier and easier to do
[02:21.34] Just like Jericho
[02:24.09] Let these walls come tumbling down now
[02:28.44] Let them fall right on the ground
[02:32.10] Let all these dogs go running free
[02:37.02] The wild and the gentle dogs
[02:42.23] Kenneled in me.
[02:44.27]
