Opening Up (from Waitress The Musical) sing and play along

The day starts like the rest we've seen,

another carbon copy of an old routine.

Days keep comin', one out, one in,

they keep comin'.

I don't know what I wish I had,

but there's no time now for thinkin' things like that.

We've got too much to do.

(Too much to do.)

We've got too much to do.

(Too much to do.)

Opening up, lettin' the day in.

Over a cup we'll say,

"Hello, how ya been?"

Lookin' around, seein' the same things,

it's comforting how some things

never change, never change,

never change, do they?

I wouldn't call this place a happy end,

but I've been 'round the block and just came back again.

Could be worse so make it work,

no place is perfect.

Hey, I'm no good in the outside world,

because I feel too much and find it usually hurts.

I like the way most of the days look exactly the same.

Opening up, every day starts over a cup served with,

"Hello, how ya been?"

Welcome it in whatever the day

brings. More of the same things.

Check the clock, tick, tick, tock,

don't stop, serve with a smile.

Hurry up, fill the coffee cup,

and then in a while,

take a breath when you need to be reminded that with days like these,

we can only do the best we can.

And do it all again.

It's the heartbeat, the center, the lifeline you enter.

never change, never change,

never change, they never change.
