Open Your Eyes

(album: The Fall - 2020)

Open your eyes
Don't open your eyes
Don't open your eyes
Open your eyes, baby

Thought I was starting to
It never gets better so soon
I thought you were somebody new
Running from open doors to
Closed rooms, worn shoes, and old perfumes
I guess I was changing for you

Take my hand and play the game
Won't you get off the stage?
You'll like singing in the rain
But it's raining every day
Breathe, I'm fine, gonna tell myself that it's all in my mind
But everybody tries

Open your eyes
Don't open your eyes
Don't open your eyes
Open your eyes, baby

I can take it, too
If I let go of you, you, ooh
I could see the sky
Only word I need is "goodbye"
Open my eyes

Can't even bear to see you, I
Take a look and I guess I'm not so surprised
You're wearing those ripped jeans I like
And yeah, you look so cool
An eye-sore, I'd play your pretty fool
I can't keep on waiting for you

Open your eyes
Don't open your eyes
Don't open your eyes
Open your eyes, baby

I can take it, too
If I let go of you, you, ooh
I could see the sky
Only word I need is "goodbye"
Open my eyes

You, you
I could see the sky
Only word I need is "goodbye"
Open my eyes
