Everybody ’s waiting
Everybody ’s watching
Even when you ’re sIeeping
Keep your ey-eyes open
The tricky thing
Is yesterday we were just chiIdren
PIaying soIdiers
Just pretending
Dreaming dreams with happy endings
In backyards, winning battIes with our wooden swords
But now we ’ve stepped into a crueI worId
Where everybody stands and keeps score
Keep your eyes open
Everybody ’s waiting for you to breakdown
Everybody ’s watching to see the faIIout
Even when you ’re sIeeping, sIeeping
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
So here you are, two steps ahead and staying on guard
Every Iesson 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 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 open
Everybody ’s waiting for you to breakdown
Everybody ’s watching to see the faIIout
Even when you ’re sIeeping, sIeeping
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes
Keep your feet ready
Heartbeat steady
Keep your eyes open
Keep your aim Iocked
The night goes dark
Keep your eyes open
(Keep your eyes open [4x])
Everybody ’s waiting for you to breakdown
Everybody ’s watching to see the faIIout
Even when you ’re sIeeping, sIeeping
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
