Open Up Your Eyes Lyrics - Sophie B. Hawkins

If I had the moon in a jar 

I'd wanna share it with you 

Or the light of a million stars 

I'd wanna share it with you 

The hidden knowledge to the way things are 

I'd love to share that with you 

But all I have is my heart 

I can't control my feelings 

I wanna lay with you nude at night 

Open up your eyes and see I've never compromised my spirit 

I can't persuade my conscience 

I need you whether it's wrong or it's right 

I know how to fly I've only 

Waited for someone to teach me to steer it 

If I could show the world on a screen 

I'd wanna share it with you 

The life story of every human being 

I'd wanna share it with you 

The inner mystery of the outer scheme 

Oh I'd love I'd Love I'd love to share that with you 

But all I have is a dream 

I can't control my feelings 

I wanna lay with you nude at night 

Open up your eyes and see I've never compromised my spirit 

I can't persuade my conscience 

I need you whether it's wrong or it's right 

I know how to fly I've only 

Waited for someone to teach me to steer it 

If I had a place on the shore 

I'd wanna share it with you 

Or a backstreet paved in gold 

Oh you know I'd share that with you 

A time machine and an old riverboat 

I'd wanna share it with you 

But all I have is my soul 

(better turn the lights on the runway) 

I wanna lay with you nude at night 

Open up your eyes, open up your eyes 

open up your eyes darlin' 

I wanna lay with you nude tonight
