Are They Open
my eyes they may be open
but i'm still asleep
the spell may be as yet unbroken
just enough to keep me
spinning here
my mind it may be open
but i'm not awake
cuz my heart remains unbroken
just enough to make it
very clear
i don't wanna take the rough roads
outta here
what would i do if you came knocking on doors and singing the trees what could i do but rise and shine
but i know you won't be coming knocking on doors any time soon
and that's how i have loved you all this time
my eyes are open
my house is always open
to one who'll never come
an open door is just a token
when you're on the run you keep it
safe inside
you don't want anyone to know your
hands are tied
what would you do if she untied what you had and wanted to go
what could you do but ache and grieve
but you know she won't untie it anytime soon or ever at all
and that's how you can wish it
i believe
your eyes are open
