| Staring into the mirror at the foot of my bed Into the eyes of the monster living in my head Lightning strikes twice at a lonely place nearby It hit like an epiphany Something said I knew that this would happen When I got neck deep in crap stealing my attention Now on the one hand I've got myself in trouble And the other one's just empty Wide-eyed and running fast, open arms are searching Outstretched for love Someone to hold you tight and tell you everything's gonna be ok Don't give up and settle for any less, babygirl You can find so much more Everything will be ok Fireworks and long walk on the beach Are all fading with every breath I breathe The more I'm trying to make myself hol don The more I'm letting go I think we all could have said that this would happen 10 months ago when I made the final arrangements But somehow that really doesnt make it any easier It doesn't take the pain away Wide-eyed and running fast, open arms are searching Outstretched for love Someone to hold you tight and tell you everything's gonna be ok Don't give up and settle for any less, babygirl You can find so much more Everything will be ok Looking through the window In the wall I've built around me Trying to make it better Wishing I could reach you But my heartbeat skips As I watch you glance away And I see he's caught your eye Wide-eyed and running fast, open arms are searching Outstretched for love Someone to hold you tight and tell you everything's gonna be ok Don't give up and settle for any less, babygirl You can find so much more Everything will be ok |
