To me, it seems like the song is about a beautiful, naive and somewhat young person,with beautiful little shut eyes. He/she cannot "see" or understand the full scope of life "little eyes are open but they don't see very far", the person only understands some of The person does not completely understand the consequences of his/her actions thus "you only hurt the ones you love/ not the ones you're thinking of". Also, Georgia's repetition of "little eyes are open" emphasizes the fact that"they're sinking back again" and closing his/her eyes to ignore the environment surrounding him/her so that he/she does not have to do anything about it. The person with little eyes is like the ostrich with it's head in the sand, unable to notice anything and retreating from all of the problems. "Don't you know you're sleeping much too long?" Georgia questions the inability of the person to notice that he/she is ignoring his/her problems. The speaker only wants this young person to "wake up", notice the repercussions of his/her consequences and how his/her apathy is detrimental to the speaker. I am unsure about the meanings of the verses but I hope this helps somebody! Feel free to disagree, I would love to have a discussion about the lyrics.
