Everybody's waiting
Everybody's watching
Even when you're sleeping

Keep your eyes open

The tricky thing is yesterday we were just children

Playing soldiers, just pretending
Dreaming dreams with happy endings
In backyards, winning battles with our wooden swords

But now we've stepped into a cruel world
Where everybody stands to keep score


Keep your eyes open

Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown

Everybody's watching to see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open


So here you are, two steps ahead and staying on guard
Every lesson forms a new scar
They never thought you'd make it this far

But turn around, they've surrounded you
It's a showdown, and nobody comes to save you now
But you've got something they don't

Yeah you've got something they don't
You've just gotta keep your eyes open


Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown
Everybody's watching to see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping

Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open


Keep your feet ready
Heartbeat steady

Keep your eyes open
Keep your aim locked
The night goes dark

Keep your eyes open

Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown

Everybody's watching to see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open


Keep your eyes open
