lyrics

The other day
I saw you across the street I had to turn my head and look away
Something stirred inside me, something left untold
And then I realised
That not looking at your face was just another way of wasting life
And underneath everything's lined with gold
I looked around
I felt so much more relieved that I had both my feet upon the ground
But I don't think I'll be able to sleep at all tonight
I did my best
I paid the price and I past the test
It'll work out, everything's fine

Open your eyes, open your mind
Just waste your time if you've got nothing much to do
And you're all cynics, no, you're all critics
And you will criticise my every single move

We'll reach an end
And when we reach that point we'll have to turn around and start again
Nothing gold can stay and some things end too soon
And last night I had this dream
And I know it wasn't real but I know that one day it could be real to me
I don't think I could cope, I wouldn't know what to do
And we haven't come this far
Just to throw it all away, well I guess that makes us who we are
And if that does make sense you don't need any proof
I went to sleep
And I woke up on the floor, I woke up tangled in between my sheets
I woke up shaking in my boots

Collate your brains
Collect in sequence, connect the mains
Reject the fame
Close your umbrella if it rains

One winter night, there's never enough time
Stop living life like you've got something else to prove
And you're all cynics, no, you're all critics
And you will criticise my every single move

Open your eyes, open your mind
Just waste your time if you've got nothing much to do
And you're all cynics, no, you're all critics
And you will criticise my every single move
