  • I am unwritten
    Can't read my mind
    I'm undefined
    I'm just beginning
    The pen's in my hand
    Ending unplanned

    Staring at the blank page before you
    Open up the dirty window
    Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
    Reaching for something in the distance
    So close you can almost taste it
    Release your inhibitions

    Feel the rain on your skin
    No one else can feel it for you
    Only you can let it in
    No one else, no one else
    Can speak the words on your lips
    Drench yourself in words unspoken
    Live your life with arms wide open
    Today is where your book begins
    The rest is still unwritten

    Oh, yeah
    I break tradition
    Sometimes my tries, are outside the lines, oh yeah-yeah-yeah
    We've been conditioned to not make mistakes
    But I can't live that way, no, no

    Staring at the blank page before you
    Open up the dirty window
    Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
    Reaching for something in the distance
    So close you can almost taste it
    Release your inhibitions

    Feel the rain on your skin
    No one else can feel it for you
    Only you can let it in
    No one else, no one else
    Can speak the words on your lips
    Drench yourself in words unspoken
    Live your life with arms wide open
    Today is where your book begins
    The rest is still unwritten
    Yeah, yeah
    The rest is still unwritten

    Oh, yeah, here we go
    Mmm, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
    Oh yeah, mmm

    Staring at the blank page before you
    Open up the dirty window
    Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
    Reaching for something in the distance
    So close you can almost taste it
    Release your inhibitions
    hey!

    No one else can feel it for you
    Only you can let it in
    No one else, no one else
    Can speak the words on your lips
    Drench yourself in words unspoken
    Live your life with arms wide open
    Today is where your book begins

    Feel the rain on your skin
    No one else can feel it for you
    Only you can let it in
    No one else, no one else
    Can speak the words on your lips
    Drench yourself in words unspoken
    Live your life with arms wide open
    Today is where your book begins
    The rest is still unwritten, yeah, mmm
    The rest is still unwritten

    Whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Oh

    The rest is still unwritten Writer/s: Danielle A. Brisebois, Natasha Anne Bedingfield, Wayne Steven Jr Rodrigues

  • Brian from Boston, MaNatasha is sexy!!
  • Carrie from Roanoke, VaIf I hadn't first heard this song on a Pantene commercial, I would've liked it more, but the context cheapened its meaning.
  • Stephanie from Wakefield, MaI love this song! It's about being open minded and living each day to the fullest. It's about being yourself because you are who you are. It has inspired me and i love you Natasha! LULAS!
  • Greg from Marietta, GaThis song probably has the longest chorus in the world!
  • Matthew from Milford, MaYeah, love songs are probably a wee bit overdone. :p
  • Jailene from K-town, WaI love this song and it has COMPLETELY remodeled my view on life. My parents would say for the worst, but I don't *even* think so. Ya know?
  • Beans from Philadelphia, Pathis is 1 of my favorite songs, a little overplayed, buts its still really good
  • Merin from Brisbane, AustraliaThe video for this song is brilliant, as well as the song itself.
  • Amanda from Sdovuhsd, MiI think this song means to let it all go and have fun in life. Don't worry about what could happen.
  • Maggie from Columbus, OhI love this song, but I dont think the song means what Donovan Barry thinks. I think the song means that you dont know what happens next in life but you should enjoy it and make the best of it.
  • Aishia Pressley from Oak Prak, MiI LOVE THIS SONG. THIS WILL MAKE THE TOP ON MY LIST.
  • Caitlin from Upper Township, NjUnwritten is probobly one of the best songs out there. All everybody else sings about is love and sex. She has message in her songs!
