One Eye Open by Hollyn

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team


She's been sleepin'
With one eye open
Waiting for the other sheep
She's been wishin'
Without permission
Telling herself she's got nothing to prove

But that ain't true
Cause in the back of her mind
She keeps score like it's the love of her life
She gets lost trying to stay in the lines
Makes it around
Just to stop on a dime

And what's it gonna take
Honey where do we start
To wake up from this childish dream?
And what's it gonna take
For the system to break
And gladly watch it tear at the seams?
Oh it's all in your head
'Til it's not and you're left to pretend
And what's it gonna take
Honey where do we start
To wake up?
To wake up, wake up?

She's been sinkin'
In shallow water
All she has to do is stand
She's been thinkin'
About the future
Making her plans like she's got nothing to lose

But that ain't true
Cause in the back of her mind
She keeps score like it's the love of her life
She gets lost trying to stay in the lines
Makes it around
Just to stop on a dime

And what's it gonna take
Honey where do we start
To wake up from this childish dream?
And what's it gonna take
For the system to break
And gladly watch it tear at the seams?
Oh it's all in your head
'Til it's not and you're left to pretend
And what's it gonna take
Honey where do we start
To wake up?
To wake up, wake up?

What's it gonna take?
What's it gonna take?
What's it gonna take?
What's it gonna take?

What's it gonna take? (To start believing in you)
What's it gonna take? (To make a way out of love)
What's it gonna take? (To learn that life is a gift when you learn to let go)
What's it gonna take?

And what's it gonna take
Honey where do we start
To wake up from this childish dream?
And what's it gonna take
For the system to break
And gladly watch it tear at the seams?
Oh it's all in your head
'Til it's not and you're left to pretend
And what's it gonna take
Honey where do we start
To wake up?
To wake up, wake up?

What's it gonna take? (To start believing in you)
What's it gonna take? (To make a way out of love)
What's it gonna take?
What's it gonna take?
