Eyes Wide Open
JLS feat Tinie Tempah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say that some things are too good to be true
But I just hope they ain't talking about you
I heard that everything must come to an end
But I just can't imagine me without you

Don't tell me I'm dreamin'
Cause if I've been dreamin'
I don't ever want to wake up
So in love with this feelin'
Tonight I'll be sleepin'
Sleepin' with my eyes wide shut

Out of sight they say out of mind
But your image will remain til the end of time
I'm strong but hearts are easy to break

Don't want to fall if there ain't no one to catch me
Me without you, me without you

Oh, I don't ever want to wake up

Don't tell me I'm dreamin'
Cause if I've been dreamin'
I don't ever want to wake up
So in love with this feelin'




Tonight I'll be sleepin'
Sleepin' with my eyes wide shut

Overall Meaning

In JLS feat. Tinie Tempah's song Eyes Wide Shut, the lyrics express the fear of losing someone special. The opening lines, "They say that some things are too good to be true, but I just hope they ain't talking about you," express the idea that the singer fears that their love might be too good to be true and might not last. The next lyrics, "I heard that everything must come to an end, but I just can't imagine me without you," reinforce this fear of losing someone they love, even though they can't imagine a life without them.


The chorus, "Don't tell me I'm dreamin', cause if I've been dreamin', I don't ever want to wake up. So in love with this feelin', tonight I'll be sleepin', sleepin' with my eyes wide shut," portrays that the singer is unwilling to consider the possibility that their love might be too good to be true. The singer is trying to savor every moment and not let their fear take over. They'd rather sleep with their eyes wide shut not wanting to think of a life without them.


The bridge, "Out of sight they say out of mind, but your image will remain 'til the end of time. I'm strong but hearts are easy to break, don't want to fall if there ain't no one to catch me. Me without you, me without you, oh I don't ever want to wake up," highlights the fact that even though they're strong, they're afraid of getting their hearts broken. The fear of losing someone they love is so much that they can't imagine waking up without them.
