play Red Eye

from Open Hand Slabster

I can run, I can fly,    jump at the sky, I'm getting good exercise
I can fail,  I can fall,   learn from it all,  use  it to  make me wise

If there's a lesson inside even losing my pride,
Finding  out that I was wrong
It all turns for the good  if it's understood,
I shouldn't have to wait too long to learn,  and get burned

If I only see what I dreamed you could be
Photoshop the you I knew (you were so beautiful)
I retouch so much cruel,  the red eye turns to blue

I could trust like a fool,  be sombody's tool,  
Finding out that I was used
Make a move too soon,  then howl at the moon
For all the good that would do

If there's something I  learn,  I keep what I earn,  
Trade it for the price I pay
And it's usually fine,  wasting my time,
As long as I can find a way to grow.   I know  

If I only see what I dreamed you could be
Photoshop the you I knew  (you were so beautiful)
I retouch so much cruel,  the red eye turns to blue

Every time I forgive the way you live
It's like I do tricks for you
I could try for the prize, but the ring's the wrong size
Never gonna make it through

Wanna win something big,  but the contest is rigged
And every piece of bling is trash
You could rattle your keys and make me say please
As if I need a hallway pass,   to leave   But I'm free

If I only see what I dreamed you could be
Photoshop the you I knew  (you were so beautiful)
I retouch so much cruel,  the red eye turns to blue
