Lyrics
Hide My Eyes
Jason Paul Johnston © 2008
Trying to find a way out of town - but I can't see the end yet
I've been paying oh so long - but I'm still so deep in debt
I wish I could write a song that makes me just forget
But every time one comes along, it just stirs up regret
So I'll stick my head in the sand and I'll try
Every time a wave comes my way I'll cry
Turn my face from the space that I occupy
When the tide gets high I'll hide my eyes
Every time I step your way - oh something makes me stop
Been searching for a key to you - left here fumbling at the lock
I've been trying to talk to you - but my words fall out in parts
Been looking for a way inside - that distant little heart
