Don't close your eyes
They may not open What if they open Would you be alive Everyone falls But not everyone rises Why don't you get up And rise again for me chorus What if the world were a little more perfect Would you stop crying or would you take the leap What if the world were a little more perfect Would you open your eyes and blink again for me (for me, yeah, for me) What about friendship What about friends You said the whole world was against you And it all had to end What about love What about family What about all that you have to live for What if the world were a little more perfect Would you stop crying or would you take the leap What if the world were a little more perfect Would you open your eyes and blink again for me (for me) It isn't easy here without you Why did you leave me What am I supposed to do (without you) What if the world were a little more perfect Would you stop crying or would you take the leap And what if the world were a little more perfect Would you open your eyes~ And what if the world were a little more perfect Would you stop crying or would you take the leap And what if the world were a little more perfect Would you open your eyes And blink again for me (for me, for me) |

She drives herself through the streets
Watching eyes so blindly Taking pictures she can't see or show On her mind is who to meet Cautioning too kindly Wondering is she'll ever have or need to know chorus Sarah doesn't care anymore What they talk about at the back door They say she can't hold her own And her Mama's never home Sarah doesn't care anymore What they talk about at the back door You wonder why she feels so alone How could a young girl feel so old. You know Sarah doesn't care anymore You know what they say at the back door But it's not that way Sarah walks along silently on her own Keeping to herself Talks to no one else And cares not for anyone Sealing those pictures of the past How time's flown so fast chorus |

So what if you're miles
away from me I can't ponder on you forever So what if the night is dreary without you Here to brighten up my sky chorus All I want is you Here in my arms You in my dreams You here beside me You All I want is you I figured it'd be a shorter while Oh and time would pass quickly But it's certainly not the case this time And I miss you here in my arms chorus All I want is you chorus |

If you could open up your eyes
And see the colour of my tears They're not that grey, they're not that blue, They're beautiful If you could just see what I see You'd know the world is not that grey And it's not that blue You'd see the world is beautiful if you would chorus Open your eyes, take my hand Take a look at where you stand It's not that hard, just take a step back my friend And see this world We're living in it's beautiful life is beautiful So take that look from off your face I know it's not that easy so tell me Ohhhhh It's not that grey so look at me and chorus It's when I open up my eyes And see the colour of your tears They're not that grey, they're not that blue, no If you could just see what I see you'd know the world is not that grey, it's not that blue You'd see that the world is beautiful |

Just smile and swallow

So, what have they done to you
You were a child You used to see it through What have they done to you. You used to smile But you couldn't find the crowd It took a while But you couldn't see it through What have they done with you. chorus So you look at your life You look at the world The you look to the oceans You're looking for that world A world above the rest Something to set you free Then you realize You need to get out. So you're swimming around Well, you're swimming deeper still They've got you wearing a crown A crown of steel that's just weighing you down You need to get away chorus Well your father was mad But he still is your dad Well you know he was wrong But you can't carry on You need to break that cycle now And rise above the rest The you can be free chorus |

I don't know the way that I will go
I don't care whether fast or slow Just take me there Now, anyway you can. I don't know who I really am I don't know how to be a man I don't know anything at all chorus Don't ask me tonight Sometimes I'll take the hand that's out And I will never figure out What took me there Even when I look up high I must always use my head Of all the little things I've ever sadi I don't know anything. chorus Somehow you came along You lifted up my head and then you wre gone You're not yourself Where have you been I'm all alone Your story is wearing thin tonight. Curled up on the couch alone Just sitting, waiting there pathetically Hoping that you'll walk through that door I don't see you anymore You don't see me anymore We don't see anyone at all Don't ask me tonight. |

You stroll along
Retrace your footsteps You see a child He's left alone Alone to stay Alone with no one there to play You recall your childhood Still lonesome today chorus All he wanted was a friend Someone he could talk to Relate to You attempt to reach but then you look away Nothing's accomplished Two shadows fade What to grow as? What will you grow up to become? Where are these answers? Oh they'll come along chorus You wonder why you're still alone You cry all night on your roof top What are you hiding? Is it something I must know? chorus |

I'm sitting here
And I'm waiting patiently For the clock to turn It's not all that fast today So I'm on my own But I know I'm not alone I'll be witnessing A happy ending chorus I'm sitting here in silence I'm waiting here patiently And I'm wondering if you're waiting too I'm sitting here alone now And I'm waiting here on my own I'm wondering If you're waiting for me too I'm watching now And I'm seeing others as they pass me by It's not a pretty sight But it will be someday And it's not that I It's not that I'm afraid of losing you I'm afraid of me And what my choices might do chorus All the time I seem to wonder How all this is gonna end Will you stay with me forever and Tell me that you'll never go away chorus |

May the words you speak
mean nothing to me Mean nothing at all so I won't feel the pain And you do not understand, it's here in my heart it's here that I cry. Don't you go away You can't deny it And you speak in such a way that it doesn't faze you Well, it fazes me Are you scared of me? (musical interlude) Speak only to me and don't hear my words Don't see me anymore Just try, see through my past If only you'd let me. Just give me a chance Let me endure to the end You can't deny it |
