Open Your Eyes
Aquakultre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I'm tryna fix my coffee I hear the phone ring
A woman's voice saying how you doing Mr. Sampson
In a long time, it sounds like good news
Set the table
And I'll be there as long as I'm able
'Til we're old and grey or disabled
Your beauty, lights up the room
In the beginning, it feels like you can't shake 'em
Oh, don't waste a minute
Tryna chase what you couldn't have, there's good love in them kisses
You just gotta open your eyes
No one told me bout the give and takes of being in love
No one told me that you bleed before you find the one
No one told me how to love before I'm dead and gone
I had to learn it in my own
We got the the universe working, overtime
Whoa, and we ain't got no qualms
We loose life everyday, but we brought life into ours
'Cause I'v been two weeks no job
Tryna get out of bed for me has been a full time job
I can't keep up with credit cards but I wont stop
My baby, just got good news
Whoa in the beginning, it feels like you can't shake 'em
Oh, don't waste a minute
And tryna chase what you couldn't have, there's good love in them kisses
You just gotta open your eyes
You just gotta open your eyes
