Open Your Eyes
Engelina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can't keep me holding on
I've given you some time
I can't make you come along
If you don't share your mind
Everytime you close your eyes
I know you feel the same
Everything you try to fight
Is drowning in the rain

What does it take, to open your eyes
Don't let if fade
You've got to let the sun shine through the rain
Open your eyes, don't let me wait
You've got to let the sun shine through the rain

Tell me why you turn away whenever I believe
Finally you've come to say I'm everything you need
Everytime you close your eyes
I know you feel the same
Everything you try to fight
Is drowning in the rain

What does it take to open your eyes
Don't let it fade
You've got to let the sun shine through the rain
Open your eyes, don't let me wait
You've got to let the sun shine through the rain

I'm not asking of you, to give yourself away
I just want you to hear the words I say
It's only a matter of time x4

What does it take to open your eyes
Don't let it fade
You've got to let the sun shine through the rain




Open your eyes don't let me wait
You've got to let the sunshine through the rain
