Midas Eyes Lyrics

When your eyes closed, the camera snapped

And now that I know just what has happened

I wish I could go back to the time

When your hair grew a little shorter

And you weren’t yet taller than my shoulder

Too young to get knocked down

And as the red starts to bleed across your face and onto your sleeve

My fingerprints they leave a mark on the picture frame and on your heart

With so much of myself in your eyes, I can now understand why

The photographs all on my wall will last longer than I can recall

The shadows in your eyes would go if you opened them up

This is what gold buys, but sometimes you gotta make do with the rocks

I wish I could go back with all the knowledge that

I have now and lead so you would follow

Your steps would fall in mine

But I haven’t got a plan

So get out from my shadow and take my hand

The road is rough and the only way is if you think you can

And as the red starts to bleed across your face and onto your sleeve

My fingerprints they leave a mark on the picture frame and on your heart

With so much of myself in your eyes, I can now understand why

The photographs all on my wall will last longer than I can recall

The shadows in your eyes would go if you opened them up

This is what gold buys, but sometimes you gotta make do with the rocks
