So I'm all surrounded   By the things I thought I put away   And I'm all surrounded   By the things I thought I put away   And there's a pile in the closet   That's where I threw some yesterday   Maybe under the rug   That's where I swept some the other day      So the mess is drawing forces   Outside I hear them say   Just come out with your hands up   So we can blow you away   And I walk out the door   Get blown wide open   By the things I put away   And I wasn't even warned   Just blown wide open   Now the mess is where I lay      So I'm all surrounded   By the things I thought I put away   So I'm all surrounded   By the things I thought I put away   And if I'm a slob   Well I never looked at it that way   Irresponsible   Well you're not the first to say      But I told her I'm sorry   I never wanted it this way   Yeah, I still need her   But the mess won’t go away      And I walk the door   Get blown wide open   By the things I put away   And I'm out on the porch   Just blown wide open   Now the mess is where I lay      Yeah, blown wide open   Blown wide open   Blown wide open   Blown wide open   The gun's still smokin'   Blood keeps flowin'   Blown wide open   Blown wide open   While she's going      All surrounded
