Everybody's waitin'
Everybody's watchin'
Even when you're sleeping
Keep your eyes openThe tricky thing
Is yesterday we were just children
Playing soldiers
Just pretending
Dreaming dreams with happy endingsIn backyards, winning battles with our wooden swords
But now we've stepped into a cruel world
Where everybody stands and keeps scoreKeep your eyes open
Everybody's waitin' for you to break down
Everybody's watchin' to see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes openSo 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 youIt's a showdown (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 openEverybody's waitin' for you to break down
Everybody's watchin' to see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyesKeep your feet ready
Heartbeat steady
Keep your eyes openKeep your aim locked
The night goes dark
Keep your eyes openEverybody's waitin' for you to break down
Everybody's watchin' to see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
Keep your eyes openKeep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open
(Keep your eyes open)
Keep your eyes open
