Open - Andy Shauf

Darling open your eyes

The sun came up

It’s just disguised

With a raincoat on

You’ll keep a fire inside

Without your glasses you’re blind

You took them off so you could find

A brand new way to see familiarity

You’ve got to open up your eyes to see

You’ve got to open up your eyes to see

To see

And on a hill that you climbed

Near summer’s end by autumn’s side

You gazed into a universal sky

And lost in deeper thoughts

You found a way to understand

Past a ticking clock strapped to the back of your hand

You said time will never wait for me

You said time will never wait for me

So wait for me

Do you see the white lights

The blue sky borrowed from the night

Retired long ago but still are shining bright

When you told me tomorrow never comes quite soon enough

I remember saying what about today

Yeah we are here today

Tomorrow always seems so far away

Tomorrow always seems so far away
