Wide Eyes Lyrics

I've got friends

I've got mothers and fathers

Who love me and I think I'm lucky

Sometimes I feel so alone

It's like it's make believe

Tell me to go back home

You know my fears

And I know you too

You got mad at me

When I booked a flight one time

So me and my friend took a boat

To an island instead

I'm like a cat

If you pull my tail I'll run away

But I'll be sad in the other room

That you couldn't wait around

Baby I know

You're sensitive as glue

You just want more

To know the things I do

I'm a daughter

I think your birthmarks

Are like the night sky

Fixed and turning

And something I can draw

Lines between

I'm like a cat

If you leave the door cracked

I'll come and widen it

I'll leave my ears open

Against the wall

I'll do my best not to assume the worst

When you call

There will always be places to crawl

And you'll be looking at me

With those wide eyes

With those wide eyes

You know there'll be days

When I'll slink away

I'll study the shadows

You leave with your face

In the lamplight

I'll speak to your insomnia

I'll jump on you all night

And make you feel better

For not dreaming

I will hold impossible anxieties

With one look

In those wide eyes

With those wide eyes

With those wide eyes

With those wide eyes

I'm like a cat

If you wait for me I'll come to you

I'll lay my weight upon you

'Til you're not afraid
