Dreaming With My Eyes Open

I spent half my life on bended knee beggin' somebody to change And the other half prayin' to God that they never would And all it got me was twice as lost when it all turned out the same But all that beggin' finally did somebody good I used to dream all night Of a day that was gone But come the mornin' light Forever from now on Gonna do my dreamin' with my eyes wide open I'll do my lookin' back with my eyes closed We can do some livin' or spend our whole life hopin' 'Cause in the end, we're left with the one we chose So I'll do my dreamin' with my eyes wide open Every time the world moved on, I fell a little further behind From runnin' back or followin' someone home Until I learned that one step forward will take you further on Than a thousand back or a million that ain't your own I used to dream all night Of a day that was gone But come the mornin' light Forever from now on Gonna do my dreamin' with my eyes wide open I'll do my lookin' back with my eyes closed We can do some livin' or spend our whole life hopin' But in the end, we're left with the one we chose So I'll do my dreamin' with my eyes wide open We can do some livin' or spend our whole life hopin' 'Cause in the end, we're left with the one we chose So I'll do my dreamin' with my eyes wide open
