Lyrics
If you take these glasses from my face
I think that you would find
I'm undeniably, certifiably
Just this shade of blind
But I don't envy those of you
With 20-20 vision
Who see the world for all it's worth
With crystal-clear precision
There's more to see than can be seen
More said than what is heard
The day is brighter, softer, lighter
When it's slightly blurred
Nearsighted
It's another lovely day
Nearsighted
So I stumble on my way
I don't judge a friend or lover
By a first or second look
Nor a book just by its cover
Hell, I can't even see the book
Nearsighted
Loving life is such a breeze
Nearsighted
'Cause I see just what I please
And it pleases me to see you
I won't change my point of view
Nearsighted
Nearsighted
Nearsighted
All I need to see is you
Though I'm slightly out of focus
I can see my dreams come true
Clear-sighted
I'm nearsighted
Nearsighted
All I need to see is you, you
