Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift - Eyes Wide Open lyrics

rate me

Everybody's waiting

Everybody's watching

Even when you're sleeping

Keep your ey-eyes open.

A tricky thing

As yesterday we were just children

Playing soldier, just pretending

Dreaming dreams with happy endings.

In backyards, winning battles with the wooden swords

But now we step into a cruel world

Where everybody stands to keep score

Keep your eyes open

Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown

Everybody's watching to see the fallout

Even when you're 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, 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 gotta keep your eyes open.

Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown

Everybody's watching to see the fallout

Even when you're sleeping

Keep your eyes open.

Keep your eyes open.

Keep your eyes open.

Keep your feet ready

Heartbeat steady

Keep your eyes open.

Keep your aim locked

The night goes dark

Keep your eyes open.

Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown

Everybody's watching to see the fallout

Even when you're sleeping

Keep your eyes open.

Keep your eyes open.

Keep your eyes open.

Keep your eyes open.

Taylor's vocals sound so great in Hunger Games's Soundtrack. Titled "Eyes Wide Open" the track was produced by The Civil Wars and shows the country singer worried, and now warns us to stay with eyes wide open, even when we're sleeping.
