lyrics

Come make a mess out of me, I’ll tell you how it could be
In the era we belonged to
I said you looked like a star, you turned as red as your heart
And it looked so pretty on you

And now I’m over the moon and clinging to your perfume
Let’s take it in, but in the meantime
I’ve got a line to rehearse and you are ordered to bloom
As you were before we shared wine

With my eyes wide shut, I’m gonna see you
With my mind made up, I will believe you
When my heart says what it needs to deceive you
With my eyes wide shut, I’ll make you appear

My legacy’s on the run, your song has barely begun
But I’m addicted to the refrain
And what they don’t know won’t hurt, and what we get we deserve
Or so I’ll make of your pain

You’ll never say I was yours, I’ll never say you were mine
And we’ll pretend you know the difference
Now get ahold of yourself! It’s just a matter of time
And a matter of opinion


With my eyes wide shut, I’m gonna see you
With my mind made up, I will believe you
When my heart says what it needs to deceive you
With my eyes wide shut, I’ll make you appear

With my eyes wide shut, I’m gonna see you
With my mind made up, I will believe you
When my heart says what it needs to deceive you
With my eyes wide shut, I’ll make you appear

With my hands tied back, I’m gonna reach you
With my tongue cut out, I’m gonna beg you
When the world goes dark, I’m gonna love you
With my eyes wide shut, I’ll make you appear

With my hands tied back, I’m gonna reach you
With my tongue cut out, I’m gonna beg you
When the world goes dark, I’m gonna love you
With my eyes wide shut, I’ll make you appear

With my eyes wide shut
With my eyes wide shut
With my eyes wide shut
With my eyes wide shut, I’ll make you appear
