Earth Wind And Fire - OPEN OUR EYES lyrics

Failure,My friends have left and I'm still here.

Like a hometown jailbird still savoring my senior year.

It makes me restless, to know i'm smartyet play the fool.

As I settle for way lessthan of what i'm capable (yeah,yeah)

(Chorus)

So catch me

if i jump from the bridge

Be the safety

on the gun to my head

Be the weak strand

on the rope from the rafters

Be my slippery hand

as i fumble the dager

in the dark.

Stardom, leave nothing to the imagination

Fame and fortune,

You can't go back the way you came from

Unknowingly we sink to the level of animals

I laugh out loud to think we see ourselves as role models (yeah,yeah)

(chorus)

So catch me if i jump from the bridge

Be the safety on the gun to my head

Be the weak strand on the rope from the rafters

Be my slippery hand as i fumble the dager

In the dark. (yeah,yeah)

Take it away, take it away,

take it away, take it away, take it away

my reason for dying

leave it to fate, leave it to fate

Show me a way out of the grave

Out of a day I'm leaving behind me

Take it away, take it away,

Take it away, take it away, take it away

My reason for dying

Leave it to fate, leave it to fate

Show me a way out of the grave

Out of a day I'm leaving behind me

(chorus)

So catch me if i jump from the bridge

Be the safety on the gun to my head

Be the weak strand on the rope from the rafters

Be my slippery hand as i fumble the dager

In the dark. (yeah,yeah)
