Lyrics Midas Eyes - Vervex

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
