Terrified Eyes Lyrics - Clear Heart Full Eyes - Craig Finn

Sean says he can't sit here and tell her that it's really that simple 

Because it's not that simple, it's exhausting and confusing and it's scary and complex 

He hates how Shannon talks about herself like she's a whole separate person 

And he's still pissed at her doctors but he's mostly just sick of not connecting 

What the hell are we going to do when they finally let you come home from the hospital? 

Sit around the house and make fake plans and then walk down to the Wagon Wheel? 

The bills are gonna come and we'll just shrug our shoulders at the notion 

The numbers so far into the beyond they look a little bit surreal 

Satisfaction is a funny thing 

Funny enough that when she brings it up he laughs a little bit 

Before he breaks down. 

It was obvious to anyone 

The way she took her medication at the bar 

The way she crossed herself 

When it's the bartender's round 

He's not gonna tell her its a matter of just kind of trying harder 

He's not going to tell her if you love someone then you should set them free 

He wishes that she wasn't always saying that she's sorry and looking up with terrified eyes 

He said I wish that you could try to love yourself the same way that you love me 

Frustration is a funny friend 

Funny enough that he keeps coming up 

And making me do things that I don't like 

When you come home from the hospital 

We can't go back to the Wagon Wheel 

And if we do we can't go every night 

In the middle of the day, she mostly feels okay 

But when nighttime comes, she just feels terrified
