Diamond Eyes Lyrics

You've got the most beautiful diamond eyes

I've ever seen in my whole life

The skyline is jealous

I'm looking at you how you shine

When I was young all I had was humble innocence

Well look at me now a little different

They said let "let him dream" but they're just hypocrites

Cause they're living a nightmare but they're used to it

Now that I'm older I can see what they really meant

That "Dream Big" means a job with some college debt

But I'm not happy being happy with a job they hate

So I'll prove them wrong until they finally say

You've got the most beautiful diamond eyes

I've ever seen in my whole life

The skyline is jealous

I'm looking at you how you shine

You turn the pages as you're flipping through the book of life

But you're not living can't you see that there's more to life

Than paychecks and cheap sex with regrets

Why is so hard to believe that

I don't wanna live in that reality

I want the best, want the most, I want everything

But I don't wanna die with that mentality

So I'll prove them wrong and maybe then you'll see

You've got the most beautiful diamond eyes

I've ever seen in my whole life

The skyline is jealous

I'm looking at you how you shine

You've got the most beautiful diamond eyes

I've ever seen in my whole life

The skyline is jealous

I'm looking at you how you shine

You've got the most beautiful diamond eyes

I've ever seen in my whole life

The skyline is jealous

I'm looking at you how you shine

Been eight years since I dropped out

My full-time job now

I put everything I have into these songs

And I'm patiently waiting to get on these stages

So they see I made it

And when they think I'm famous

I'll to their faces that I felt betrayed

When some people of faith

Lacked the faith that I'd make it

So I'm here to say to the kid that I was

That I felt that pain and I wrote you this song

So if you relate hear me say dream on

If you relate hear me say dream on
