  • Everybody's waiting
    Everybody's watching
    Even when you're sleeping
    Keep your ey-eyes open

    The tricky thing
    Is yesterday we were just children
    Playing soldiers just pretending
    Dreaming dreams with happy endings
    In backyards, winning battles with our wooden swords
    But now we've stepped into a cruel world
    Where everybody stands and keeps score

    Keep your eyes open

    Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown
    Everybody's watching to see the fallout
    Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
    Keep your ey-eyes open
    Keep your ey-eyes open
    Keep your ey-eyes open

    So here you are, two steps ahead and staying on guard
    Every lesson forms a new scar
    They never thought you'd make it this far
    But turn around (turn around), oh they've surrounded you
    It's a showdown (showdown) and nobody comes to save you now
    But you've got something they don't
    Yeah you've got something they don't
    You've just gotta keep your eyes open

    Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown
    Everybody's watching to see the fallout
    Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
    Keep your ey-eyes open
    Keep your ey-eyes open
    Keep your ey-eyes

    Keep your feet ready
    Heartbeat steady
    Keep your eyes open
    Keep your aim locked
    The night goes dark
    Keep your eyes open (keep your eyes open)

    (Keep your ey-eyes open)
    (Keep your ey-eyes open)
    (Keep your ey-eyes open)

    Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown
    Everybody's watching to see the fallout
    Even when you're sleeping, sleeping

    Keep your ey-eyes open
    Keep your ey-eyes open
    Keep your ey-eyes open
    Keep your ey-eyes open
    Keep your ey-eyes open Writer/s: Taylor Swift
