Every time I open up my eyes, I see you Standing at the precipice of everlasting happiness that lives inside of you Things I'll never get to touch, or hear, or feel, or see Things that just weren't made for me I guess it wasn't meant to be But every time you open up your mouth, I see verbs Adjectives, and colors flying out into the world So that they're there to be observed Trying hard to get themselves into somebody's brain Then they'll never be the same It always happens in that way But every time I open up my eyes My eyes My eyes My eyes It's almost like you never wanna act like you knew me when I was nobody And nowadays, it's harder not to feel like someone new I don't see what you see in me, like I'm some sort of deity An elephant in any room, I'm living in a zoo The thought of being locked inside a room behind a barricade Is getting comfortable, and now I don't know what to do 'Cause I don't think anything's changed It's almost like you never wanna act like you knew me when I was nobody And nowadays, it's harder not to feel like someone new I don't see what you see in me, like I'm some sort of deity An elephant in any room, I'm living in a zoo The thought of being locked inside a room behind a barricade Is getting comfortable and now I don't know what to do 'Cause I don't think anything's changed But every time I open up my eyes
