'Eyes Wide Shut'
produced by @jonathan-asperil

La Brea for some boots
You’re kicking off a shoot
I’ve been calling all day
I can’t keep up with you

It’s all Saturdays
Got me driving out my way
You said ‘Pick me up at 1!’
I’ll be wearing something real, real, fun

Trying to take the high road
But I’ve been feeling lowly
No call back got me feeling so lonely
Giving me no reason, it ain’t even, best believe it
I got unrequited love for you

I better learn to keep it all to myself
I better learn to keep my heart in my chest
Bad enough that I want what I can’t get
I better learn to keep my eyes wide shut

Stayed in for the night
And watched a movie that you didn’t like
Went out with your friends
And I watched Al Pacino pick a fight

I’m done with trying different things
They leave me with these little scars
Off you go again
Chasing diamonds rings and faster cars

Trying to take the high road
But I’ve been feeling lowly
No call back got me feeling so lonely
Giving me no reason, it ain’t even, best believe it
I got unrequited love for you

I better learn to keep it all to myself
I better learn to keep my heart in my chest
Bad enough that I want what I can’t get
I better learn to keep my eyes wide shut

I better learn to keep it all to myself
I better learn to keep my heart in my chest
Bad enough that I want what I can’t get
I better learn to keep my eyes wide shut

LYRICS:

I hear it from afar, that’s an echo
Roarin’ 20s, everything a little art deco
And I don’t wanna go say hello
I’m just in a mellow mood
Summertime, 
everything turns off yellow
Think it’s time to let it go
(I just wanna let it all go) 
It’s better when I’m lovin’ you
When it’s just me and you
I’m better when I’m lovin’ you
When it’s just me and you

V1
that sound goes across the bay 
And I can hear the partying from blocks away
I got an open door baby when it gets to late  
when you don’t wanna stay out 
I could be the fade out

so let me know when you’ll on the way
cause I could a little of your company
so at the end of the night, if you’ll still be mine
I’ll go kill the lights and you can draw the shades
 
V2
You ain’t gotta knock
Gonna go and make another key
So you can just come on over when you want a little me 
on the rooftop never lookin down
You get me higher baby just being around 
I’ve realized, it’d be unwise to lock this
door leave this behind
or would you show me what ya like
so I can see it in your eyes
you’re waiting for it to align
its been on loop in inside mind
I’ll be home, writing my rhymes, so come around in your time
