Monday Eyes Lyrics

Monday eyes

Dreaming of much brighter skies

I'm 29 and feeling old

Another year

As hard as every cold grey morning

I was told these streets would be paved with gold

I'm a smart girl, and I haven't stopped in my whole life

There's a thousand paths to the success that I crave

I could catch my breath, I'd finally be happy

And I'd know how to be brave

Monday eyes

Resist the urge to speak in sighs

I've forgotten how not to be a black knot

I'm sat inside the shadow of a great fig tree

It frightens me, watching each one fall and rot

They say if it's meant to be

Then you'll know it, then you'll know

But I don't know anything anymore

So show me, where should I go?

The seasons change

But each feels darker than the last

I turn away, I can't be weak

I dry my eyes, put another pair of painful shoes on

And I walk, and with every step I long for sleep

With every step I long for sleep

With every step I long for sleep

With every step I long for sleep

With every step I long for sleep
