lyrics

Morning Eyes

Phone buzzing by the night light/ she still don't understand
the morning commute for some / is 4am in Disneyland
trying to break this thing wide open / get while the gettin's good
today for what we can do / tomorrow for what we should

I stole you from your Daddy / when he was at the bar
when he'd drag himself back home / he could never see very far
So we'd hide out in backseats / and motels with neon lights
rooms rates by the hour / and a clerk too tired to fight

chorus
When dreams ain't enough / to keep it all tied down
Will we be together / will we still be around
wanna see those morning eyes / but there's nothing in my head
no more morning eyes / sleeping in my bed

Post-it notes and postcards crossing in the mail
all the memories sold...at another fire-sale
doctor's on speed dial...the mills all know my name
just one more hit of Oxy...might make me feel the same / get me back in the game

chorus

Maybe I should have stayed and you should have flown
it's always the stranger who ends up alone
tonight I'm sitting in this roadhouse / as they sweep under my chair
ain't no last call here / you just feel it in the air / best clear out of here

When the head says run and the heart says stay
it's time to find a bottle and look the other way
Gotta burn it down to save it….toss the embers in the air
Act like all this is normal….and like we do not care

chorus
