The Open Window
I wrote this on a tired, quiet morning in my bathrobe while I was thinking of the never ending "shoulds" I had on my to-do list... I was grieving and burnt out. Sometimes writing music feels like a lifeline. May it be a comfort to you also <3

Lyrics
The Open Window by Brooke Allyce Huntsman I should take a shower I should do a lot of things I should take back all my power But what the fuck's that even mean? I'm a wife, I'm a mother I'm a friend, I'm a lover I'm a girl, I'm a woman I'm a human person But what the fuck's that even mean? I should be a little louder I should say the words I mean I should stand a little taller To be more heard and seen But I've tried, I have spoken Now, I'm lost and heartbroken And no goddamn shower's Gonna wash that clean What does it mean? Late at night, I lay there Counting sheep and my mistakes I'm not okay, but I'll get there Wishing on that star The window's open And I'm waiting for the girl Who once lived here I should work a little harder I should get a lot more sleep I should put away my laundry But that pile of clothes will keep I am bored, I am lonely And I can't be the only one Who's homesick for fairytales and make-believe When did she leave? Peter Pan asked Wendy To stay with him There in Neverland To always play and not grow up And Wendy loved him But with pixie dust and happy thoughts She flew back home To her open window (Instrumental Break) Late at night, I lay there Counting sheep and my mistakes I'm not okay, but I'll get there Wishing on that star The window's open And I'm waiting for the girl Who once lived here
