Eyes Wide Open Lyrics By Gotye

    with our eyes wide open we
    with our eyes wide open we

    so this is the end of the story
    everything we had everything we did
    is buried in dust and this dust is all that’s left of us
    and only a few ever worried
    while the signs were clear they had no idea
    you just get use to livin’ in fear
    or give up when you can’t even picture your future
    we walk the plank with our eyes wide open

    we walk the plank with our eyes wide open we
    walk the plank with our eyes wide open we
    yeah we walk the plank with our eyes wide open we
    walk the plank with our eyes wide open we

    and some people offered up answers
    we made out we like we heard they were only words
    they didn’t add up to a change in the way we were living
    and the saddest thing is all of it could’ve been avoided
    but it was like to stop consuming to stop being human
    and why’d i make a change if you won’t
    we’re all in the same boat stayin’ afloat for the moment

    we walk the plank with our eyes wide open we
    walk the plank with our eyes wide open we
    yeah we walk the plank with our eyes wide open we
    we walk the plank with our eyes wide open we
    we walk the plank with our eyes wide open we
    we walk the plank with our eyes wide open we
    we walk the plank with our eyes wide open we

    with our eyes wide open we
    walk the plank we walk the plank
    with our eyes wide open we
    walk the plank we walk the plank we walk the plank
    with our eyes wide open we
    walk the plank we walk the plank
    with our eyes wide open
    and that is the end of the story
