Lyrics:
This is nonstop baby, you've got me going crazy
You're heavier than I knew
But I don't want no other, you're my cameo lover
Only here for a moment or two
You stay inside that bubble with all of your trouble
In your black hole
You turn from the skies, you dance with your demise
I'll be here when you come home (home)

We've all gotta break down
Let me come and break down, there with you

'Cause everyday's like talking in your sleep
Love is like a silhouette in dreams!
Open up your heart, open up your heart
Open up your heart and let me pull you out
Everyday's like talking in your sleep
Love is like a silhouette in dreams!
Open up your heart, open up your heart
Open up your heart and let me pull you out of here

I've got high hopes baby, but all you do is take me
Down to depths that I never knew
You've got two arms baby, they're all tangled in ladies
As the black skies posing blue
Let go of your mother and turn to your brother
Not a long gone lover's noose
Sometimes baby the hardest part of breaking
Is leaving pieces behind you

Oh we've all gotta get by
Let me come and hold you high, with you

'Cause everyday's like talking in your sleep
Love is like a silhouette in dreams!
Open up your heart, open up your heart
Open up your heart and let me pull you out
Everyday's like talking in your sleep
Love is like a silhouette in dreams!
Open up your heart, open up your heart
Open up your heart and let me pull you out of here

Open up your heart to me!
The sun won't shine if you're not looking
Baby, love is all that you need...

When everyday's like talking in your sleep
Love is like a silhouette in dreams
Open up your heart, open, open... (open...)
When everyday's like talking in your sleep
Love is like a silhouette in dreams!
Open up your heart, open up your heart!
Open up your heart and let me pull you out!

12 years later I still come back to this. This entire session is an absolute gem. Stellar performances!!

[christaylor]

Her voice turns beast live! Better than the studio version by miles!

[michaelrocks]

Anyone else think she is just so crazy beautiful?? Gosh she's pretty 😂

[Burrelly]

Her music is way better with an actual live band.

[gc]

when an artist masters singing live and makes it sound miles better than her originals you know she's incredibly special and talented!

[janossario]

Time flies! Kimbra was only 20 years old here and is still amazing.

[sandraperez]

Just randomly remembered how good this version is.

[kalexambing]

Kimbra deserves a Grammy for her songs!

[yareztyjajaja]

someone else 2021 who misses this kimbra?💖🥺

[breckmaverick]

She deserves more appreciation man, her voice is amazing

[edamommy]

Holy Shit her voice is flawless in this live performance.

[iwillnevergetone]

Have been watching this SingSing session for ten years now. Still as perfect as the day I stumbled on it in 2010. Perfection by the band, kimbra, the filming and mix!

[j]

I love how she grabs her hair @3:56 as she gets totally into the ending of the song

[frankielambardo]

I've watched this video 50 times in a row, WTF. Somebody Stop Me!

[zotar]

Best version of this song and possibly the best one of this awesome performance, come on youtube what the f***.

This is nonstop baby
You've got me going crazy
You're heavier than I knew
But I don't want no other
You're my cameo love
Only here for a moment or two
You stay inside that bubble
With all of your trouble
In your black hole
You turn from the skies
You dance with your demise
I'll be here when you come home

We've all gotta break down
Let me come and break down, there with you

'Cause everyday's like talking in your sleep
Love is like a silhouette in dreams
Open up your heart, open up your heart
Open up your heart and let me pull you out
Everyday's like talking in your sleep
Love is like a silhouette in dreams
Open up your heart, open up your heart
Open up your heart and let me pull you out of here

I've got high hopes baby
But all you do is take me down to depths that I never knew
You've got two arms baby
They're all tangled in ladies of the black skies posing blue
Let go of your mother
And turn to your brother
Not a long gone lover's noose
Sometimes baby the hardest part of breaking
Is leaving pieces behind you

Oh we've all gotta get by
Let me come and hold you high, with you

'Cause everyday's like talking in your sleep
Love is like a silhouette in dreams
Open up your heart, open up your heart
Open up your heart and let me pull you out
Everyday's like talking in your sleep
Love is like a silhouette in dreams
Open up your heart, open up your heart
Open up your heart and let me pull you out of here

Open up your heart to me
The sun won't shine if you're not looking
Baby love is all that you need

When everyday's like talking in your sleep
Love is like a silhouette in dreams
Open up your heart, open, open, open

Everyday's like talking in your sleep
Love is like a silhouette in dreams
Open up your heart, open up your heart
Open up your heart and let me pull you out

Open up your heart, open up your heart
Open up your heart, open up your heart
Open up your heart, open up your heart

[willyshostrom]

this live version blows out the video, she's Way into it, so pretty!

[kindaarthur]

She is like pitch perfect. You can't hear a part in which she goes off key because it's live. It's perfect. I love her. Well, we all do.

[binipaz]

I had the amazing chance to hear her perform this song live. It was honestly the best live performance of any artist I've ever seen. She's just bursting with energy!

[tessamohammed]

I could watch this a million times, never get tired
