Eyes Wide Shut

(album: girlfriends - 2020)

Sunday's best or lingerie
Your eyes were warm, that's how they stayed
Tongue-tied and that's all we said
Alone in my bed (Alone in my bed)
Afternoons at home with you
The sun was down and I was too
Saying things I thought were true
But now I have my eyes wide shut

In the middle of a daydream
Haven't seen much of you lately
I'm coming down (I'm coming down)
And you're not around right now
It's been feeling like a nightmare
When I wake up and you're not there
Like you were back then (You were back then)
I try to pretend you're here

It's been a year, the days flew by
I see you on TV sometimes
Take me back to the good old days
'Cause everything changed (Everything changed)
Try to fall asleep again
Reminded of our innocence
We never were that innocent
That's what I liked best, eyes wide shut

In the middle of a daydream
Haven't seen much of you lately
I'm coming down (I'm coming down)
And you're not around right now
It's been feeling like a nightmare
When I wake up and you're not there
Like you were back then (You were back then)
I try to pretend you're here

Safe to say you're different now
You did some things I heard about
I tried my best to laugh it off
I wish that it helped, eyes wide shut

In the middle of a daydream
Haven't seen much of you lately
I'm coming down (I'm coming down)
And you're not around right now
It's been feeling like a nightmare
When I wake up and you're not there
Like you were back then (You were back then)
I try to pretend you're here
