kissing with eyes open
gotta make up for lost time
for so long i've been deprived
of looking into your eyes
wide open
gotta make it yours and mine
can't just follow the design
for generic love
let's not pretend
we're anywhere else
let's not let our minds wander far
turn the music off
kiss me with eyes open
let me know that you are mine
for too long i have survived
on the colors in my mind
wide open
this is what i'd hoped to find
not just acts that are prescribed
by generic love
let's fall to bits
and pick each other up again
cut the shit and be afraid
let the pretense fade
i'm not gonna put a spell on you
i'm not gonna say any magic words
don't lump me in with what you heard
by virtue of you being you
our love is true
by decree of me being me
our will is free
by this time tomorrow we'll be
more confused than we've ever been before
now isn't that what love is for?
kissing with eyes open
don't let your mind wander far
i didn't wish you on a star
be exactly who you are
wide open
be self-conscious and concede
in this way we shall be freed
from generic love
with my imagination
comes a firm understanding
of the difference between it
and real life
with a keen imagination
comes a subtle resignation
from all that it ever describes
don't be shy
by virtue of you being you
our love is true
by decree of me being me
our will is free
don't close your eyes
don't close your eyes tonight
