One Eye On The Door
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I try real hard to smile
My words are not so sure
Got one eye on the time, one eye on the door
I can't fake a thing and lyings not my style
It's hard to hide away what I've been feeling for a while
Long to feel the force of fresh people in my face
I long to see the day when somebody takes my place
My words feel so clear they get lost when you translate
Instead of hearing I have to go you hear me hesitate
Ch
There's no soul
There's no soul
There's no soul inside these lines
There's no soul
Loving you by numbers
Feelings by the book
I don't think you understand i need a second look
You try to real me in and have me under your control
You can cage my body but you can't lock up my soul
Ch
Is it how we're raised or is it how we're born
I try to take a different path but this one feels so worn
Making changes making plans will only leave a stain
And the marks you left upon me can't be washed up by the rain
Ch
I try real hard to smile
My words are not sure sure
Got one eye on the time, one eye on the door
One eye on the time, one eye on the door
One eye on the time, one eye on the door
