one eye closed.

if i hadn't thought of what to say
what would have happened now?
would you be standing here
in front of me tonight?

if i'd know it'd be this easy
i'd have done it days ago
but i just wanted to be sure
i'd say it right

in you i found the answers that i needed
to every question i'd ever had
sometimes it's easier to see
with one eye closed
but maybe it's not that bad

one step over the ocean
one step over the sky
that's where i'd take us
if i had a little money

so we'll just sit on my front porch
and see what we can see
a tree that's planted next to lovers
also known as you and me

in you i found the answers that i needed
to every question i'd ever had
sometimes it's easier to see
with one eye closed
but maybe it's not that bad

there was a time way back when
when i thought i'd never see my home again
and i'd wasted too much time
trying to work it out

when i finally came back i went to the place
that had seen our very last kiss
and i knew i'd get you back again somehow

so maybe i made a mistake
but my eyes are wide open now

in you i found the answers that i needed
to every question i'd ever had
sometimes it's easier to see
with one eye closed
but maybe it's not that bad
