One Eye Open

We met one morning at a parking lot in Richmond
I said I liked the way your hair blew so softly in the wind
We got in my car and we drove down to the movies
We were both feeling reckless, never counting our sins

Well, I know she knows it's getting heavy
She knows I know we're on the run

We've got one eye open
With one life to live
There's no walking away, only turning the page
We don't know where this story ends
Just where it begins
I worked at the coffee shop and recognized the regulars
You were swinging a hammer, took whatever you could get
At night we built bonfires and looked up at the bright stars
It would just be you and me and the hard days we'd forget

I know you know it's too heavy
You know I know we're having fun

We've got one eye open
With one life to live
There's no walking away, only turning the page
We don't know where this story ends
Just where it begins

Young and free, trying to take what we need
In a world that can turn you to stone
Pedal down with the sun on our face
As the radio's playing loud

We've got one eye open
With one life to live
There's no walking away, only turning the page
We don't know where this story ends
We've got one eye open
With one life to live
There's no walking away, only turning the page
We don't know where this story ends
Just where we begin
