Little Eyes
Took a walk alone last night
Slept inside your head
It was raining hard again
Crawled back into bed
Tried to catch up to you
But you moved too fast
Thought about a million things
Fell asleep at last
Got up again last night
Tore all over town
Skidding tires screeching brakes
Barely make a sound
We were on a winding road
Going 65
Slid along an icy stretch
Made it back alive
Little eyes are open
But they don't see very far
You can only hurt the ones you love
Not the ones you're thinking of
Little eyes are open
But they're sinking back again
Don't you know you're sleeping much too long
Wake up little eyes
Little eyes
Ooh
Moving but not gaining any ground
Climbing up the escalator
As it takes you down
Last night I heard this sound
Echoed everywhere
Like a buzzing amplifier
Burning through the air
"It's still raining hard", you said
Have you any clue?
Is it ever gonna stop?
I guess that's up to you
Little eyes are open
But they don't see very far
You can only hurt the ones you love
Not the ones you're thinking of
Little eyes are open
But they're sinking back again
Don't you know you're sleeping much too long
Wake up little eyes
Little eyes
Little eyes
Little eyes
Little eyes
Wake up little eyes
Slept inside your head
It was raining hard again
Crawled back into bed
Tried to catch up to you
But you moved too fast
Thought about a million things
Fell asleep at last
Got up again last night
Tore all over town
Skidding tires screeching brakes
Barely make a sound
We were on a winding road
Going 65
Slid along an icy stretch
Made it back alive
Little eyes are open
But they don't see very far
You can only hurt the ones you love
Not the ones you're thinking of
Little eyes are open
But they're sinking back again
Don't you know you're sleeping much too long
Wake up little eyes
Little eyes
Ooh
Moving but not gaining any ground
Climbing up the escalator
As it takes you down
Last night I heard this sound
Echoed everywhere
Like a buzzing amplifier
Burning through the air
"It's still raining hard", you said
Have you any clue?
Is it ever gonna stop?
I guess that's up to you
Little eyes are open
But they don't see very far
You can only hurt the ones you love
Not the ones you're thinking of
Little eyes are open
But they're sinking back again
Don't you know you're sleeping much too long
Wake up little eyes
Little eyes
Little eyes
Little eyes
Little eyes
Wake up little eyes
