Wide Eyed

If it’s the medicine you’ll swallow
You can tell yourself to follow
All beginnings
And if it starts to rain on your wedding
Instead of letting go or forgetting
Collect your winnings

If it’s the only rest you’ll take
You can tell yourself you’ll make up
A little sleep
And if you’re wide eyed enough to see
Everything that’s lost’s only
To find and keep

And if you keep saying you’re right
You’ll find you’re right about that too
And if you listen to the buzzing
You’ll hear flies singing to you
And if your eyes are wide enough
Begin to do what you were meant to do

If it’s the medicine that goes down
You don’t know everything you’ll know
About yourself now
And if you don’t like how that tastes
You’ve got your heart in the wrong place
And you’ll sell out

So ask someone else for help now

I'm willing to be proven wrong anyhow
Wide eyed, and yet, 20-20’s giving out
And you can tell yourself
That’s what this was always all about
