Dreaming with my eyes open

The day I live to see myself as the girl I'd like to be
I will ride on hurricanes for all the world to see.
I'll run faster than the tiger. Live my life above the clouds.
But for now I will sleep with my troubelsome doubts.
Put my head up through the window.
Watch the moon bounce off my face.
One day I glow with such beautiful grace.

It seems like I'm dreaming with my eyes open.
It seems like I'm dreaming with my eyes open.
And I cannot wake up.

The thing that gets me through the night is knowing that I can.
I will write my dreams and hopes sos pretty in the sand.
I'll watch them gently fade away as all the oceans roar.
But they still live within my soul.
I cannot ask for more.

It seems like I'm dreaming with my eyes open.
It seems like I'm dreaming with my eyes open.
And I cannot wake up.

Full of the power to do what I please.
I take every highway. Get down on my knees.
I'll show the people that I take no shortcuts.
The hurricane's landed the girl with the guts.

It seems like I'm dreaming with my eyes open.
It seems like I'm dreaming with my eyes open.
And I cannot wake up.

And I cannot wake up.
