EYES
WAAO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't take the feeling I get when you leave me behind
You made me feel something real that I cannot describe
So save me the pain and remain in the blink of my eye
Spark in my lungs
I've been down on my luck
I've been staying up all night
I don't wanna see the sun come up
Stressed about school and my bed
Your contradictions, they put me over the edge
But the sad never lasts, my life's been a blast
You just caught me outside in the rain tonight
An umbrella would do, I don't wanna be blue
Spark in my lungs
I've been down on my luck
I've been staying up all night
I don't wanna see the sun come up
I've been staying up all night
I don't wanna see the sun come up

Tell me you won't leave me lonely but only tonight

I can't take the feeling I get when you leave me behind
It hurts me deeply when you abandon me and go away

I've been staying up all night
I've been unable to sleep

Back in November I guess I was kind of a wreck
I wasn't in a good state of mind in November
Stressed about school and my bed
I was worried about school and sleeping
Your contradictions, they put me over the edge
Your conflicting actions confused me and pushed me to my limit
But the sad never lasts, my life's been a blast
I know that sadness is temporary, and my life has been amazing overall
You just caught me outside in the rain tonight
You found me outside in the rain tonight
An umbrella would do, I don't wanna be blue
Having an umbrella would be helpful and prevent me from feeling sad
I've been staying up all night
I've been unable to sleep
I don't wanna see the sun come up
I don't want tomorrow to come because it might bring more problems
