Dreaming With My Eyes Open
I spent half my life on bended knee begging somebody to change
And the other half prayin' to God that they never would
And all it got me was twice as lost when it all turned out the same
But all that beggin' finally did somebody good
I used to dream all night
Of a day that was gone
But come the mornin' light
Forever from now on
Gonna do my dreamin' with my eyes wide open
I'll do my looking back
With my eyes closed
We can do some livin'
Or spend our whole life hopin'
Cause in the end we're left with
The one we chose
So I'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
Every time the world moved on, I fell a little further behind
From runnin' back or followin someone home
Until I learned that one step forward will take you further on
Than a thousand back or a million that ain't your own
I used to dream all night
Of a day that was gone
But come the mornin' light
Forever from now on
Gonna do my dreamin' with my eyes wide open
I'll do my looking back
With my eyes closed
We can do some livin'
Or spend our whole life hopin'
But in the end we're left with
The one we chose
So I'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
We can do some livin'
Or spend our whole life hopin'
Cause in the end we're left with
The one we chose
So I'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
And the other half prayin' to God that they never would
And all it got me was twice as lost when it all turned out the same
But all that beggin' finally did somebody good
I used to dream all night
Of a day that was gone
But come the mornin' light
Forever from now on
Gonna do my dreamin' with my eyes wide open
I'll do my looking back
With my eyes closed
We can do some livin'
Or spend our whole life hopin'
Cause in the end we're left with
The one we chose
So I'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
Every time the world moved on, I fell a little further behind
From runnin' back or followin someone home
Until I learned that one step forward will take you further on
Than a thousand back or a million that ain't your own
I used to dream all night
Of a day that was gone
But come the mornin' light
Forever from now on
Gonna do my dreamin' with my eyes wide open
I'll do my looking back
With my eyes closed
We can do some livin'
Or spend our whole life hopin'
But in the end we're left with
The one we chose
So I'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
We can do some livin'
Or spend our whole life hopin'
Cause in the end we're left with
The one we chose
So I'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
