Have I seen you before
I’ve lived here all my life
A familiar place
An unfamiliar sight
Life can turn on a dime
And circle back to rhyme
Yet I can’t quite replace the comfort I lost on my way
I say
(Open your eyes)
If I could just see straight
(Open your eyes tonight)
If I could just find a way to be the one that stays for a while
(Open your eyes tonight)
There’s another side
When the story’s defined
By somebody else who has never quite felt the same
Can you ever know
What you haven’t been shown?
I could try to explain but you would never refrain from your heart
I say
(Open your eyes)
If I could just see straight
(Open your eyes tonight)
If I could just find a way to be the one that stays for a while
(Open your eyes tonight)
All the bridges are burning
But ours could be different this time
You can cross first
I’ll follow
Behind
I say
(Open your eyes)
If I could just see straight
(Open your eyes tonight)
If I could just find a way to be the one that stays for a while
(Open your eyes tonight)
(Open your eyes)
If I could just see straight
(Open your eyes tonight)
If I could just find a way to be the one that stays for a while
(Open your eyes tonight)
