Eyes Open (Taylor's Version)

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 and keeps score

Keep your eyes open

Everybody's waiting for you to break down

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

Oh, 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 got to keep your eyes open

Everybody's waiting for you to break down

Everybody's watching to see the fallout

Even when you're sleeping, sleeping

Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes

Keep your feet ready

Heartbeat steady

Keep your eyes open

Keep your aim locked

The night goes dark

Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open

Everybody's waiting for you to break down

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

Keep your eyes open
