Lyrics

Open

[Verse 1: Khalid]

It's a full moon outside

Light up the floor

Out on my way to you

Mm, mm, oh-oh, ooh-woah

You should see me tonight

I'm at your door, got somethin' to say to you

Yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Khalid]

Have I seen you in another life?

It's like I met you before (Ooh, ooh)

Caught up in the moment (Ooh, ooh)

Caught up in the moment, I know I am (Ooh, ooh)

Yeah

[Chorus: Khalid, Majid Al Maskati, Both/Khalid & Majid Al Maskati]

I can hear you callin', yeah, yeah

Too much, now I'm all in, yeah, yeah

Dive into your ocean, yeah, yeah

Leave your schedule open, woah, woah

I can hear you callin', yeah, yeah

Too much, now I'm all in, yeah, yeah

Dive into your ocean, yeah, yeah

Leave your schedule open, woah, woah (You look perfect)

[Verse 2: Majid Al Maskati]

Got sparks in your eyes (Woah, oh)

Love's hard to find

Both of us know that's the truth (Truth, ooh, ooh-ooh, mm-hmm, ooh, mm-hmm)

Baby

Put my plans to the side

We'll be just fine, especially when I'm next to you (Ooh, ooh)

Mm-hmm (Ooh, ooh)

[Pre-Chorus: Majid Al Maskati]

Have I seen you in another life? (So perfect)

It's like I met you before (Just don't hurt me)

Never been so open

Caught up in the moment, I know I am (Oh, oh)

Yeah (Baby)

[Chorus: Majid Al Maskati, Khalid, Both/Khalid & Majid Al Maskati]

I can hear you callin', yeah, yeah

Too much, now I'm all in, yeah, yeah

Dive into your ocean, yeah, yeah

Leave your schedule open, woah, woah

I can hear you callin', yeah, yeah

Too much, now I'm all in, yeah, yeah

Dive into your ocean, yeah, yeah

Leave your schedule open, woah, woah

[Bridge: Majid Al Maskati & Khalid]

I can hear you callin' (I can hear you, ooh, ooh)

Too much now I'm all in (In)

Dive into your ocean (Dive into your ocean)

Leave tomorrow open (Yeah, yeah)

I can hear you callin' (I can hear you callin', hey)

Too much now I'm all in (Yeah, too much now I'm all in, now I'm all in)

Dive into your ocean (Dive into your ocean, yeah, yeah)

Leave your schedule open (Leave tomorrow open)

[Outro: Majid Al Maskati]

Woah, woah

Ooh-ooh, ooh

I can hear you

Baby

Leave tomorrow open

You're pretty, proud, na, nana, keepin' me open

But I know what to say

But I know how it feels
