Everybody's waiting

Everybody's watching

Even when you're sleeping

Keep your eyes open

The tricky thing

Is yesterday, we were just children

Playing soldiers, just pretending

Dreaming dreams with happy endings

In backyards

Winnin' battles with our wooden swords

But now we've stepped into a cruel world

Where everybody stands and keeps score

(Keep your eyes open)

Everybody's waitin' for you to break down

Everybody's watchin' to see the fallout

Even when you're sleepin', sleepin'

Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open

So, here you are

Two steps ahead and stayin' on guard

Every lesson forms a new scar

They never thought you'd make it this far

But turn around (Turn around)

Oh, they've surrounded you, it's a showdown (Showdown)

And nobody comes to save you now

But you got somethin' they don't

Yeah, you got somethin' they don't

You just gotta keep your eyes open

Everybody's waitin' for you to break down

Everybody's watchin' to see the fallout

Even when you're sleepin', sleepin'

Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes

Keep your feet ready, heartbeat steady

Keep your eyes open

Keep your aim locked, the night goes dark

Keep your eyes open

(Keep your eyes open)

(Keep your eyes open)

(Keep your eyes open)

(Keep your eyes open)

Everybody's waitin' for you to break down

Everybody's watchin' to see the fallout

Even when you're sleepin', sleepin'

Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open
