Looked down from a broken sky Traced out by the city of lights My world from a mile high Best seat in the house tonight Touch down on the cold black-top Hold on for the sudden stop Breathe in the familiar shock of confusion and chaos All those people going somewhere, why have I never cared Give me your eyes for just one second Give me your eyes so I can see, Everything that I keep missing, Give your love for humanity. Give me your arms for the broken-hearted The ones that are far beyond my reach. Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten. Give me Your eyes so I can see. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Step out on the busy street. See a girl and our eyes meet. Does her best to smile at me. To hide what's underneath. There's a man just to her right Black suit and a bright red tie. Too ashamed to tell his wife he's out of work, he's buyin time. All those people going somewhere, why have I never cared. Give me your eyes for just one second Give me your eyes so I can see, Everything that I keep missing, Give your love for humanity. Give me your arms for the broken-hearted The ones that are far beyond my reach. Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten. Give me Your eyes so I can see. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I've been there a million times A couple million lives Just moving past me by, I swear I never thought that I was wrong But I wanna second glance so give me a second chance To see the way you've seen the people all along Give me your eyes for just one second Give me your eyes so I can see Everything that I keep missing Give your love for humanity Give me your arms for the broken-hearted The ones that are far beyond my reach Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten Give me Your eyes so I can see Give me your eyes for just one second Give me your eyes so I can see Everything that I keep missing That I keep missing Give me your arms for the broken-hearted The ones that are far beyond my reach. Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten Give me Your eyes so I can see. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
