Red Eye - David Wilcox

I can run, I can fly

Jump at the sky, I’m getting good exercise

I can fail, I can fall

Learn from it all, use it to make me wise

If there’s a lesson inside even losing my pride

Finding out that I was wrong

It all turns for the good if it’s understood

I shouldn’t have to wait too long to learn and get burned

In my memory, I can change what I see

Photoshop the girl I knew

(You were so beautiful)

I retouch so much cruel, the red eye turns to blue

I could trust like a fool, be somebody’s tool

Finding out that I was used

Make a move too soon then howl at the moon

For all the good that would do

If there’s something I learn, I keep what I earn

Trade it for the price I pay

And it’s usually fine, wasting my time

As long as I can find a way to grow, I know

In my memory, I can change what I see

Photoshop the girl I knew

(You were so beautiful)

I retouch so much cruel, the red eye turns to blue

Every hour after hour, pushing your power

You made me do tricks for you

I could try for the prize but the ring’s the wrong size

Never gonna make it through

Wanna win something big but the contest is rigged

And every piece of bling is trash

You could rattle your keys and make me say please

As if I need a hallway pass to leave but I’m free

In my memory, I can change what I see

Photoshop the girl I knew

(You were so beautiful)

I retouch so much cruel, the red eye turns to blue
