Well human kind, he draws a line
He draws a noose, keeps my truths
Do you remember the water poured over you
When I jumped in, you jumped in too
I'm like driftwood and now I dare
To feel alone and maybe scared

I sing with my eyes wide open
'Cause I can't bear to close them these days
And I have nothing here left to remind me
How I ended up this way
How did I become a wreck on the waves

Pull a sheet over me
Pull my heart across the sea
Sky of stars, leaves on a fire
Smoky breath, I wish it was summer
Another place another time
The night was yours and you were mine

Now I sing with my eyes wide open
'Cause I can't bear to close them these days
And I have nothing here left to remind me
How I ended up this way
How did I become a wreck on the waves

I zip a coat, up to my chin
Kill the cold, can't let it in
Too many thoughts, too many times
Clouds and comets and worlds to find
I always wonder, I always seek
The things I want but do not need

And I sing with my eyes wide open
'Cause I can't bear to close them these days
I have nothing here left to remind me
How I ended up this way
I sing with my eyes wide open
'Cause I can't bear to close them these days
I have nothing here left to remind me
How I ended up this way
How did I become a wreck on the waves
