One Eye Open

The future is a blank page like a landscape with no clouds
We don't know what could happen, so we're terrified and loud
And he's been dragging you through ditches
Trying to figure out what's up
But I think you've waited long enough
Put 'em up, put 'em up
Oh, what do you think you're doing?
I know I don't look tough
I'm so small and unassuming
If you mess her up
I think your face could be broken, honey
If I were you
Oh, I would sleep with one eye open
Another day, another silence, you don't ask for much
But you get nothing back, oh, it's impossible to watch
You try to move on, he bites back
You don't get very far
But he's not irreplaceable just 'cause he plays guitar
Put 'em up, put 'em up
Oh, what do you think you're doing?
I know I don't look tough
I'm so small and unassuming
If you mess her up
I think your face could be broken, honey
If I were you
Oh, I would sleep with one eye open
I'm no detective
But I'm loyal and reckless
And I'm overprotective
Like a mother
And maybe he loves you
But he never shows you
God, I just hope that he doesn't wake up in the gutter
Put 'em up, put 'em up
Oh
I know I don't look tough
No
If you mess her up
I think your face could be broken, honey
If I were you
Oh, I would sleep with one eye open
You mess her up
I think your face could be broken, honey
If I were you
Oh, I would sleep with one eye open
Don't say I didn't warn ya
Sleep with one eye open
