These Eyes

These eyes are wide open 

but they can't see a thing 

I sit around hoping

waiting for the phone to ring

No one's calling, no one can see

I'm still blind to what is right in front of me

I know I'm young and restless 

I know I need to change 

I need to practice patience

and forget about the pain

I'd go around in circles and do it over and over again
Speak with my eyes and see with my mouth
I'd understand the beauty of silence and nothing
Of knowing so little and feeling so much

My eyes are wide open, can you see?
Can you tell I'm really asleep and my life hasn't started yet
And I'm craving for love and recklessness
