[Verse 1]
I'll try to keep myself open up to you
That's a promise that I made to love
When it was new
Just like Jericho, I said
"Let these walls come tumblin' down"
I said it like I finally found the way
To keep the good feelin's alive
I said it like it was somethin' to strive for

[Verse 2]
I'll try to keep myself open up to you
And approve your self expression
I need that from you too
I need your confidence, baby
And the gift of your extra time
In turn I'll give you mine
Sweet darling, it's a rich exchange
Seems to me
It's a warm arrangement

[Bridge]
Anyone'll tell you
Just how hard it is to make and keep a friend
Maybe they'll short sell you
Or maybe it's you
Judas in the end
When you just can no longer pretend
That you're gettin' what you need
Or you're givin' out anythin' for them to grow and feed on
[Verse 3]
I'll try to keep myself open up to you
It gets easier and easier to do
Just like Jericho
The walls come tumblin' down
Fallin' on the ground
And all the dogs go runnin' free
The wild and the gentle dogs
Kennelled in me

[Instrumental Outro]
