wide eyes

I used to walk the world
Like a small child
Eyes closed and heart open wide
Now I walk the world
With my heart on the ground
Thought clouds were lullabies
Stars were morning alarms
Now I walk the world
With my thoughts in the dark
He's smiling at her
And I don't make a sound

Dear wide eyes
Why can't you just see
You belong with me
If I could just rewind

I'd go
Back to the day
You first laid eyes on her
The day to you I said my first words
I'd take back my hellos
And let you know
Right then and there
What you mean to me
Look you dead in the eyes
Take you by the hand
Stutter every word but
You'd still understand but when she Walks by she'll catch your eye and You'll never know
That we were meant to be
You and me

See you walking around
With her hand in your hand
Yeah it drives me wild
Baby but I understand
I was never the one
Just a safe place to land
Saw a shooting star
And I wished for your love
But deep down inside
I know I'll never be enough
For you
Oh baby

Dear wide eyes
Why can't you just see
You belong with me
If I had just one more try
I'd go

Back to the day
You first laid eyes on her
The day to you I said my first words
I'd take back my hellos
And let you know
Right then and there
What you mean to me
Look you dead in the eyes
Take you by the hand
Stutter every word but
You'd still understand but when she Walks by she'll catch your eye and You'll never know
That we were meant to be
You and me

Dear wide eyes
I still dream about you
Just can't live without you
If I had just one more try
