Everybody's waiting Everybody's watching Even when you're sleeping Keep your ey-eyes open The tricky thing Is yesterday we were just children Playing soldiers Just pretending Dreaming dreams with happy endings In backyards, winning battles with our wooden swords But now we've stepped into a cruel world Where everybody stands and keeps score Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown Everybody's watching to see the fallout Even when you're sleeping, sleeping Keep your ey-eyes open So here you are, two steps ahead and staying 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 showdow and nobody comes to save you now But you've got something they don't You've just gotta keep your eyes open Keep your feet ready Heartbeat steady Keep your eyes open Keep your aim locked The night goes dark Keep your eyes open..

Elevator buttons and morning air Stranger's silence makes me wanna take the stairs If you were here, we'd laugh about their vacant stares But right now, my time is theirs  Seems like there's always someone who disapproves They'll judge it like they know about me and you And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do The jury's out, but my choice is you  So don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard The stakes are high, the water's rough, but this love is ours You never know what people have up their sleeves Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles But I don't care 'cause right now you're mine  And you'll say don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard The stakes are high, the water's rough, but this love is ours  And it's not theirs to speculate if it's wrong and Your hands are tough but they are where mine belong in I'll fight their doubt and give you faith with this song for you  'Cause I love the gap between your teeth And I love the riddles that you speak And any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos will be ignored 'Cause my heart is yours So don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard  And don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine But they can't take what's ours, they can't take what's ours The stakes are high, the water's rough, but this love is ours
