Open Eyes (This Christmas)
Woah woah
Ooh yeah
Alright
If just for one day, I lived the life you were living
If just for one day, I opened my eyes
Would I come back down from the throne I was given
Come back down this Christmas time
Oh friend, the life you were given
Makes me feel blessed for my worst days, as your hands
Grow older in the cold
All your stories had to be left untold
I watch you from a distance, in a little warm space
Wondering how I'd be in your place?
If just for one day, I lived the life you were living
If just for one day, I opened my eyes
Would I come back down from the throne I was given
Come back down this Christmas time
Your friend
Your shadow in the sunlight
Keeps you walking on to the places you've gone
I can't mend the cut that comes between us
I don't know where it came from, or why it's even there
I watch you from a distance, in a little warm space
Wondering how I'd be in your place?
Can't pass you by
In the cold, in the rain
On the street at night
Without wondering why?
Who am I, wasting time
With a nickel, with a dime
You need more than my money can buy
If just for one day
If just for one day, huh
If just for one day
If just for one day, huh
If just for one day
Ooh yeah
Alright
If just for one day, I lived the life you were living
If just for one day, I opened my eyes
Would I come back down from the throne I was given
Come back down this Christmas time
Oh friend, the life you were given
Makes me feel blessed for my worst days, as your hands
Grow older in the cold
All your stories had to be left untold
I watch you from a distance, in a little warm space
Wondering how I'd be in your place?
If just for one day, I lived the life you were living
If just for one day, I opened my eyes
Would I come back down from the throne I was given
Come back down this Christmas time
Your friend
Your shadow in the sunlight
Keeps you walking on to the places you've gone
I can't mend the cut that comes between us
I don't know where it came from, or why it's even there
I watch you from a distance, in a little warm space
Wondering how I'd be in your place?
Can't pass you by
In the cold, in the rain
On the street at night
Without wondering why?
Who am I, wasting time
With a nickel, with a dime
You need more than my money can buy
If just for one day
If just for one day, huh
If just for one day
If just for one day, huh
If just for one day
