"Red Eye" lyrics

"Red Eye"

I lost perspective of who I was, I hit the wall
I knew that it would take a lot, but it took it all
No, you don't come this far to turn around
Covered too many miles
No, you don't get this close to breaking out
Just to close your eyes

While the world sleeps under my feet tonight
I'm chasing myself in the sky
While the world sleeps under my feet tonight
I'll be up here learning to fly
When you love what you can't let go
And your heart, it already knows
Sure it'll hurt, but it's worth every burn
Cause one day you'll get home
Still it feels like I am always on the red eye

This time around it's not even about getting paid
I'm just an addict for the moment when the magic is made
When you are who you are, who you really are
It can put you through hell
Spend a day in the skin that you want to live in
And see how it feels

While the world sleeps under my feet tonight
I'm chasing myself in the sky
While the world sleeps under my feet tonight
I'll be up here learning to fly
When you love what you can't let go
And your heart, it already knows
Sure it'll hurt, but it's worth every burn
Cause one day you'll get home
Still it feels like I am always on the red
Feels like I am always on the red eye

Finding myself these days
Looking down from the window seat
I'm counting lights on houses
When I should be counting sheep
Truth is that I can't complain
I'll do it over and over again
And over again

While the world sleeps under my feet tonight
I'm chasing myself in the sky
While the world sleeps under my feet tonight
I'll be up here learning to fly
While the world sleeps under my feet tonight
I'm chasing myself in the sky
While the world sleeps under my feet tonight
I'll be up here learning to fly
When you love what you can't let go
And your heart, it already knows
Sure it'll hurt, but it's worth every burn
Cause one day you'll get home
Still it feels like I am always on the red
Feels like I am always on the red eye
