Eyes Wide Terrified

i love this song. it reminds me of broken glass, all tragic and beautiful. YOUR LIFE IS A SONG, BUT NOT THIS ONE!

That's not quite right, but pretty much, this is exact:

Pulling down the blinds, blocks what's left of the stars So I'm tripping over bottles, tracing footsteps in the dark Tomorrow would be a good day for broken glass There are men in this room, who would pay for this Missed calls to say I missed the morning's most.

You can't talk about it, you can't talk about it Keeping (we) secrets (we) playing (can't talk about it) witches Our bodies stretched out, our bodies stretched out Casting sudden spells is not the answer We'll build ourselves on hope and progress Wake in water says your eyes wide terrified We'll build ourselves on hope and fortune I wouldn't say Wouldn't say it, to your face, I'm sure

Your life is a song, your life is a song Your life is a song, but not this one Your life is a song, your life is a song Your life is a song, but not this one (SURE!) It talks about confidence, I'll give it a month if I'm lucky I'm not that lucky, and these t-shirts don't fold themselves But he falls asleep on her shoulder Every shift they spend together, which is most nights.

You can't talk about it, you can't talk about it Keeping (we) secrets (we) playing (can't talk about it) witches Your bodies stretched out, our bodies stretched out Casting sudden spells is not the answer We'll build ourselves on hope and progress Wake in water says your eyes wide terrified We'll build ourselves on hope and something I wouldn't say Wouldn't say it, to your face, I'm sure

Your life is a song, your life is a song Your life is a song, but not this one (SURE!) Your life is a song, your life is a song Your life is a song, but not this one It talks about confidence, I'll give it a month if I'm lucky You're jealous friends have gotta get laid The only thing that's stopping you is more of the same Yeah you get it, you feel it, emotions, attention

Your life is a song, your life is a song Your life is a song, but not this one Your life is a song, your life is a song Your life is a song, but not this one Your life is a song, your life is a song Your life is a song, but not this one Your life is a song, your life is a song Your life is a song, but not this one

I'm gonna look MAJOR geek now but...

I read in an article that Alexei was briefly 'obsessed' about putting "or something" into the lyrics of this song.... So I reckon that it's not 'hope and something', it's 'hope OR something' very small pedantic not BUT Alexei clearly wanted it that way for a reason :-)

I think it's "Awake at water's edge, your eyes wide terrified" the first time, then on the second time it's "Awake at water's edge, my eyes wide terrified"

I remember seeing a video of them doing karaoke of EWT and I think those were the lyrics up there.

El Clembo and Lanny are both right.
