Give me your eyes


Look down from a broken sky 
Traced out by the city lights 
My world from a mile high
Best seat in the house tonight

Touch down on the cold black top 
Hold on for the sudden stop
Breath in the familiar shock
Of confusion and chaos


All those people going somewhere 
Why have I never cared
Give me your eyes for just one second 
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted 
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see


                                                                        
Step out on a busy street 
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me 
To hide what’s underneath

There's a man just to her right
Black suit and a bright red tie
Too ashamed to tell his wife
He's out of work, He's buying time

All those people going somewhere 
Why have I never cared
Give me your eyes for just one second 
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted 
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see



I’ve been here a million times 
A couple of million eyes
Just move and pass me by
I swear I never thought that I was wrong
I need a second glance
Give me a second chance
To see the way you’ve seen the people all along
