Old Eyes
Last night I woke up from a dream
Of suffering a heavy loss
And I tried but couldn't fall asleep
Cradled by my fleeting thoughts
Of all the emotion I had spilled
On mirror screens and lazy nights
What bitter symphony of guilt
Awoken in the empty nights
If only I knew how to tell you the reasons why
I'm still awaiting I'd come tonight
And relish in all that we have
And if you could see
The distance I feel lies ahead of me
Before I forget who we used to be
I want to be able to laugh
Old eyes in rooms hear distant cries
The open window gentle breeze
Wandering the local sites
And listening to Screaming Trees
Now of all the cowards in the room
Engaged in their elusive songs
I feel the most the weight of time
The fear of getting everything wrong
If only I knew how to tell you the reasons why
I'm still awaiting I'd come tonight
And relish in all that we have
And if you could see
The distance I feel lies ahead of me
Before I forget who we used to be
I want to be able to laugh
Over all of my wrongs
If only I knew how to tell you the reasons why
I'm still awaiting I'd come tonight
And relish in all that we have
And if you could see
The distance I feel lies ahead of me
Before I forget who we used to be
I want to be able to laugh
Of suffering a heavy loss
And I tried but couldn't fall asleep
Cradled by my fleeting thoughts
Of all the emotion I had spilled
On mirror screens and lazy nights
What bitter symphony of guilt
Awoken in the empty nights
If only I knew how to tell you the reasons why
I'm still awaiting I'd come tonight
And relish in all that we have
And if you could see
The distance I feel lies ahead of me
Before I forget who we used to be
I want to be able to laugh
Old eyes in rooms hear distant cries
The open window gentle breeze
Wandering the local sites
And listening to Screaming Trees
Now of all the cowards in the room
Engaged in their elusive songs
I feel the most the weight of time
The fear of getting everything wrong
If only I knew how to tell you the reasons why
I'm still awaiting I'd come tonight
And relish in all that we have
And if you could see
The distance I feel lies ahead of me
Before I forget who we used to be
I want to be able to laugh
Over all of my wrongs
If only I knew how to tell you the reasons why
I'm still awaiting I'd come tonight
And relish in all that we have
And if you could see
The distance I feel lies ahead of me
Before I forget who we used to be
I want to be able to laugh
