[Verse 1]
It's hard to be tied to you
When your rock keeps is falling down
Dudududuuu nananana
It's hard to be tied to you
When this rock keep falling down
Dudududuuu nananana

[Chorus]
Out here in the open
Underneath the sun
Out here where i'm hoping
Someday you'll be the one
Out here on the open
I get to keep what's mine

[Verse 2]
It's hard to live up to you
When you're never doing anything wrong
Dudududuuu nananana
It's hard to live up to what you think of yourself
You know you've got to be putting me on
Dudududuuu nananana

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Got to get yourself up right
So what you finally tell you that you're too uptight
Hey hey
That's what i say
You've been working at the car-wash way too long
You know that life is just about another funky song
Hey hey hey hey, that's what you say
Out here in the open
Underneath my name
Somebody's gonna pay attention to me
Someday everybody's gonna pay attention to me

[Bridge]
And out here in the open, i get the chance to shine
Out here in the open, yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Somebody's gonna pay attention to me
Someday everybody's gonna pay attention to me

[Outro]
Out here in the open
I get the chance to shine
I get the chance to shiiiiiine

Train is an American rock band from San Francisco, formed in 1993. The band currently consists of Patrick Monahan (lead vocals), Luis Maldonado (guitar), Hector Maldonado (bass, vocals), Drew Shoals (drums), Jerry Becker (keyboards, guitar), Sakai Smith (backup vocals), and Nikita Houston (backup vocals).

With a lineup that included original members Monahan, Rob Hotchkiss, Jimmy Stafford, Scott Underwood, and Charlie Colin, the band achieved mainstream success with their debut album Train, which was released in 1998 with the hit “Meet Virginia”. Train’s 2001 album, Drops of Jupiter contained the lead single “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)”, which won two Grammy Awards in 2002. The album was certified double platinum in the United States and Canada and remains the band’s best-selling album to date.

Train’s third studio album, My Private Nation, released in 2003, was certified platinum in the United States with the hit “Calling All Angels”. Following the departures of Hotchkiss and Colin, the band released their fourth album, For Me, It’s You in 2006, with Brandon Bush (keyboards) and Johnny Colt (bass). Despite a generally positive reception from critics, the album was commercially unsuccessful. Because of this, Train went on a two-year hiatus from recording any new music.
