about

“Windows Open” is a letter of obsession towards a recent ex. Neil finds himself on the same block that his former partner lives, and can’t help but notice what is happening through their window. Even though he is disgusted, Neil’s jealousy keeps him planted there.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
I didn't mean to, but I wound up on your block
I see your window's open when I look up
I see the shadowy silhouette of two
Could it be you with someone new

[Pre-Chorus]
And I wanna walk away
But something makes me stay
I got a place to be
But now I'm gonna be late
I was just walking to the train
Didn't come here intentionally
And now I see something that I wish I could unsee

[Instrumental]
Wish I could unsee

[Verse 2]
I didn't mean to, but I wound up on your block
I see your window's open when I look up
I hear sweet words and laughter
Stomach knots turning sour

[Pre-Chorus]
And I wanna walk away
But something makes me stay
I got a place to be
But now I'm gonna be late
I was just walking to the train
Didn't come here intentionally
And now I see something that I wish I could unsee

[Chorus]
You left your windows open
And now I'm hurting
You left your windows open
And now I'm hurting

[Bridge]
How did you move on so fast
How are you putting me in the past
Why are you filling my place
Without trying to fix things
How are you done so easily
When we had everything
I let you see parts of me
No one else could see

[Chorus]
You left your windows open
And now I'm hurting
You left your windows open
And now I'm hurting

[Outro]
You left your windows open
