Everybody's waiting... Everybody's watching... Even when you're sleeping, keep your ey-eyes open...
The tricky thing is yesterday, we were just children playing soldiers, just pretending; dreaming dreams with happy endings...
In backyards, winning battles with our wooden swords, but now we've stepped into a cruel world, where everybody stands and keeps score...
Keep your eyes open...
Chorus Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown; everybody's watching to see the fallout. Even when you're sleeping, sleeping, 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 lesson 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...
Repeat chorus
Keep your ey-eyes open. Keep your ey-eyes...
Bridge Keep your feet ready, heartbeat steady; keep your eyes open...
Keep your aim locked, the night goes dark; keep your eyes open!
(Keep your ey-eyes open... Keep your ey-eyes open... Keep your ey-eyes open... Keep your ey-eyes open...)
Repeat chorus
(Keep your ey-eyes open!) Keep your ey-eyes open... (Keep your ey-eyes open!) Keep your ey-eyes open... Taylor Swift, Eyes Open from the soundtrack The Hunger Games: Songs from District 12 and Beyond (2012)
