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
