kissing with eyes open gotta make up for lost time for so long i've been deprived of looking into your eyes wide open gotta make it yours and mine can't just follow the design for generic love let's not pretend we're anywhere else let's not let our minds wander far turn the music off kiss me with eyes open let me know that you are mine for too long i have survived on the colors in my mind wide open this is what i'd hoped to find not just acts that are prescribed by generic love let's fall to bits and pick each other up again cut the shit and be afraid let the pretense fade i'm not gonna put a spell on you i'm not gonna say any magic words don't lump me in with what you heard by virtue of you being you our love is true by decree of me being me our will is free by this time tomorrow we'll be more confused than we've ever been before now isn't that what love is for? kissing with eyes open don't let your mind wander far i didn't wish you on a star be exactly who you are wide open be self-conscious and concede in this way we shall be freed from generic love with my imagination comes a firm understanding of the difference between it and real life with a keen imagination comes a subtle resignation from all that it ever describes don't be shy by virtue of you being you our love is true by decree of me being me our will is free don't close your eyes don't close your eyes tonight
