Wide Eyes

I want to dream again

Like when I was a kid

Not that twenty-five-year-old shit

Where you try to fly

But you’re so tired

You fall to the pavement

I want to feel again

Like I’m new in this skin

Want to let the cold rain in

And the wild winds

I want to feel all of it

‘Cause I’m up all night

With this restless mind

And I feel my youth

Leaving me behind

And then dreams I dreamed

About a big, big life

Feel so far away

When you feel so blind

But I want to see

So I’m keeping these

Wide eyes, wide eyes

Staring past the edge of the sunrise

Oh I’m wide eyes

Like why’d I

Let me get away

With just getting by

Oh, I wanna know what it’s like

To be ten feet tall

Want to know all I know

Is I know nothing at all

But I’m wide eyes

Wide eyes

I want to dream again

Want to slay the dragon

I want to ride on the wind

Feel it sinking in

I'm not afraid of falling

I want to love again

Like when I was a little kid

That fill-you-up kind of shit

Where the air is thin

And you could just die without it

Yeah, I want to see

So I’m keeping these

Wide eyes, bright eyes

Staring past the edge of the open road

Oh I’m wide eyes

Like why’d I

Let me get away

With just getting old

Oh, I lost my mind

I don’t want to find it

I know all I know

Is I’ll never stop trying to be

Wide eyes, Wide eyes

Wide eyes, wide eyes

Wide eyes, wide eyes

Wide eyes, wide eyes

Wide eyes, wide eyes

Wide eyes, wide eyes

Staring past the edge of the sunrise

Oh I’m wide eyes

Like why’d I

Let me get away

With just getting by

Oh, I want to know what it’s like

To be ten feet tall

Want to know all I know

Is I know nothing at all

But I’m wide eyes

Wide eyes

Wide eyes, wide eyes

Wide eyes, wide eyes

‘Cause I’m up all night

With this restless mind

And I feel my youth

Leaving me behind

And the dreams I dreamed

About a big, big life

Feel so far away

When you feel so blind
