Joanna Open Your Eyes Lyrics

Under the night sky
With the rain falling down in our eyes
And we are soaked our hands so cold
But tonight I hold you close
Tonight you know it’s all right
You don’t have to hold so tight

Joanna, you know you are
The closest that I’ve ever come to love

Running from porch lights that came on
As we ran by we will stay right here
We’ll be fine
With my lips on your mouth
So you don’t make a sound
At least not one too loud

Joanna, you know you are
The closest that I’ve ever come to love
Joanna, open up your eyes
So you can see there’s nothing wrong tonight
Nothing wrong tonight

If tonight is the last time I get to hold you close
I want you to know
I want you to know

Joanna, you know you are
The closest that I’ve ever come to love
Joanna, open up your eyes
So you can see there’s nothing wrong tonight

Joanna, you know you are
The closest that I’ve ever come to love
Joanna, open up your eyes
So you can see there’s nothing wrong tonight

So you can see there’s nothing wrong tonight
So you can see there's nothing wrong tonight

Let Your Guard Down

Under the night sky 
With the rain falling down in our eyes 
And we are soaked our hands so cold 
But tonight I hold you close 
Tonight you know it’s all right 
You don’t have to hold so tight

Joanna, you know you are 
The closest that I’ve ever come to love

Running from porch lights that came on 
As we ran by we will stay right here 
We’ll be fine 
With my lips on your mouth 
So you don’t make a sound 
At least not one too loud

Joanna, you know you are 
The closest that I’ve ever come to love 
Joanna, open up your eyes 
So you can see there’s nothing wrong tonight 
Nothing wrong tonight

If tonight is the last time I get to hold you close 
I want you to know 
I want you to know

Joanna, you know you are 
The closest that I’ve ever come to love 
Joanna, open up your eyes 
So you can see there’s nothing wrong tonight

Joanna, you know you are 
The closest that I’ve ever come to love 
Joanna, open up your eyes 
So you can see there’s nothing wrong tonight

So you can see there’s nothing wrong tonight 
So you can see there's nothing wrong tonight

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

more people need to know how awesome ellison is!!! i found them surfing myspace at midnight one night and this is the first song I heard; i think the tune is very catchy and nonstalgic. it reminds me of my first love. i think it's just supposed to be a tell-tale story of young love.
