Gotye - Eyes Wide Open lyrics

rate me

With our eyes wide open we... (x2)

So this is the end of the story

Everything we had everything we did

Is buried in dust

And this dust is all that's left of us

And only a few ever worried

While the signs were clear

They had no idea

You just get used to living in fear

Or give up

When you can't even picture your future

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open we

(walk the plank with our eyes wide open we)

Yeah we walk the plank with our eyes wide open we

(walk the plank with our eyes wide open we)

Some people offered up answers

We made out like we heard

They were only words

They didn't add up

To a change in the way we were living

And the saddest thing

Is all of it could have been avoided

But it was like to stop consuming's to stop being human

And why'd I make a change if you won't?

We're all in the same boat

Staying afloat for the moment

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open

(walk the plank with our eyes wide open we)

And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open we

(walk the plank with our eyes wide open we)

With our eyes wide open we

We walk the plank we walk the plank

So that is the end of the story
