She got a smile just the wrong side of happy
Too many times she has been let down
I tried my best to reach her
But I guess I'm just too late now

She's heard it all before
Too many times I'm sure
But girl you can't ignore
The world outside your door

Don't close your eyes
You`re missin' a good thing
Don't close your eyes
Stay on this ride
Just one more time
It's too early to say goodbye
(say goodbye)

She sees the world through the eyes of her mother
There`s always room, room to criticize
Every man a potential lover
Every girl a demon in disguise

She thinks she knows your game
Like every boy`s the same
Like every boy`s to blame
Well baby it's a shame

Don't close your eyes
You`re missin' a good thing
Don't close your eyes
Stay on this ride
Just one more time
It's too early to say goodbye

This poison in your veins
Will make you let it out
I wanna scream and shout
It's not what life`s about

Don't close your eyes
You`re missin' a good thing
Don't close your eyes
Stay on this ride
Just one more time
It's too early to say goodbye
