[intro instrumental]
[Verse 1]
I shut the door soft
Still hear your shape
On the back of my neck
Like a hand in the dark
I count all the seams
In the sheet by my face
Try to sink into sleep
But it won’t let me stay
[Pre-Chorus]
I close one eye
Then the other one
The room gets loud
When the dreaming comes
[Chorus]
Keep my eyes open wide
I don’t trust the night
Keep my eyes open wide
Don’t let me slip inside
Keep my eyes open wide
I’m right here, I’m alive
(Keep my eyes open wide)
[interlude instrumental]
[Verse 2]
The ceiling bends low
Like it knows my name
Every shadow at rest
Starts to move the same
I stare at the clock
Till the numbers blur
I’d rather chase dawn
Than lose time in your blur
[Pre-Chorus]
I close one eye
Then the other one
The room gets loud
When the dreaming comes
[Chorus]
Keep my eyes open wide
I don’t trust the night
Keep my eyes open wide
Don’t let me slip inside
Keep my eyes open wide
I’m right here, I’m alive
(Keep my eyes open wide)
[Bridge]
If I drift, pull me back
Say my name out loud
If I fold into that dark
Shake me out, shake me out
[Final Chorus]
Keep my eyes open wide
I don’t trust the night
Keep my eyes open wide
Don’t let me slip inside
Keep my eyes open wide
I’m right here, I’m alive
(Keep my eyes open wide)
