Million Eyes

I don't know where I'm goin', but this road I'm on
Is takin' me to places I've never been
I don't do well on my own
But when you're here, I swear I'm home
The love you give is more than I could ever pay

Well, I just moved out west, and God, I'm scared to death
Of the things that people are aimin' me to be
And how do I make sense of all this shit I'm in?
It's like everyone wants to help, but no one can see

And when I close my eyes and think about my dreams
It's a million eyes and one set of strings
And I'm convinced that you're the only one that knows me
With you, I'm already the man I wanna be

They don't understand just how much your heart means
It saved my life and helped me forget the pain
And don't you worry, the love we have won't leave
You ain't in my head, you're in the way I breathe

One thing I miss most about the place I was grown
Was no one saw me as more than just a kid
And this machine tries to buy me out
I scream out to the crowds
I'm a busted-ass boy that was built on honesty

Mama always said to me, "Well, son, you're somethin' to see"
Where would I be without you believin' in me?
I got some boys that would die for me
And a girl that would never leave
What else could a man ever need?

When I close my eyes and I think about my dreams
It's a million eyes and one set of strings
And I'm convinced that you're the only one that knows me
With you, I'm already the man I wanna be

They don't understand just how much your heart means
It saved my life, it helped me forget the pain
Don't you worry, the love we have won't leave
You ain't in my head, you're in the way I breathe
