From the recordings Everything I've Got and Not Open Late
"Not Open Late" is a song about an experience of mine with a girl that I was really into, but she would not give me the time of day unless she was drunk, or it was late at night and she was looking for an easy hook up. This song is my reaction to her behavior. I want this song to be a lesson to everyone since it is not fair to treat someone they way I was treated. You just can't hold someone's feelings in limbo. People aren't puppets, so we shouldn't be treated that way!
Lyrics
You only reach out in the night
When the drinks have reached their height
Far past midnight but never day
A simple message of hey
Well!
I'm not open late
Not an open date
I'm not open late
I'm not open late
Not an open date
I'm not open late
What you're preaching isn't new
Found out long ago the truth
'Bout your ways
Convenience is your game
Every instance is the same
What a shame
Yeah!
I'm not open late
Not an open date
I'm not open late
I'm not open late
Not an open date
I'm not open late
I'm not open late
Not an open date
I'm not open late
I'm not open late
Not an open date
I'm not open late
Where am I on your list?
Am I something that you'll miss?
Tell me
Yeah!
I'm not open late
Not an open date
I'm not open late
I'm not open late
Not an open date
I'm not open late
I'm not open late
Not an open date
I'm not open late
I'm not open late
Not an open date
I'm not open late
