You recognise this place You've been here before When cigarettes were cheaper And didn't cause cancer But something is wrong Someone's not around anymore You're a stranger right now Fighting to be recognised again You're trying to guess What is this feeling Going right through your bones Right to the heart of them You're trying to find out What exactly has changed Is it you, is it them Is it everything else You hear the chorus of old song Fighting against your thoughts Open your eyes, wide open Then open your eyes, open Open your eyes, wide open Then open your eyes And you might see everything Strange is this sound Forgotten yet familiar Riddling the heart You've worked so hard To barricade The root of it unwavering The core uninterrupted Like the smell of elderflower In the middle of the spring Still trying to guess What is this feeling Going right through your bones Right to the heart of them The essence remains But the atmosphere has shifted Don't know why Dont know when You'd rather leave it all alone You hear the chorus of old song Fighting against your thoughts Open your eyes, wide open Then open your eyes, open Open your eyes, wide open Then open your eyes And you might see everything You don't want to listen Too many memories at first But the words are sinking With each note into your brain You were trying to resist But now you cannot help it The melody is breaking through The walls you've built around And then you try Your eyes are heavy Tired and stiff after Looking down for so many years Of course it's hard You haven't exercised enough When you were young You can't remember why You hear the chorus of old song You cannot help it You have to sing along Open your eyes, wide open Then open your eyes, open Open your eyes, wide open Then open your eyes And you might see Open your eyes Open your eyes Open, open Open, open
