Dreaming with My Eyes Open

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I spent half my life on bended knee, beggin' somebody to change And the other half prayin' to God that they never would And all it got me was twice as lost when it all turned out the same But all that beggin' finally did somebody good [Pre-Chorus] I used to dream all night Of the day that was gone But come the mornin' light Forever from now on [Chorus] Gonna do my dreaming with my eyes wide open I'll do my looking back with my eyes closed We can do some livin' or spend our whole life hopin' 'Cause in the end, we're left with the one we chose So I'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open [Verse 2] Every time the world moved on, I fell a little further behind From runnin' back or followin' someone home 'Til I learned that one step forward will take you further on Than a thousand back or a million that ain't your own [Pre-Chorus] I used to dream all night Of the day that was gone But come the mornin' light Forever from now on [Chorus] Gonna do my dreaming with my eyes wide open I'll do my looking back with my eyes closed We can do some livin' or spend our whole life hopin' But in the end, we're left with the one we chose So I'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open [Refrain] We can do some livin' or spend our whole lives hopin' 'Cause in the end we're left with the ones we chose So I'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
