lyrics

You’re a perfect star
You’re a candle in a hurricane
And all you wanted
Was life in the chaos
And all you wanted
Was to keep your head up
And take the time to breathe
Keep your head up
And take the time to breathe

Don’t turn around
Don’t say no
Just open up your eyes
Darling angel
Don’t slow down
Just open up your eyes
Open up your eyes

You’re a perfect storm
You’re the truth inside a daydream
And all you wanted
Was someone to lean on
And all you wanted
Was to keep your head up
And take the time to breathe

You need to try to let it go
You need to try to let it go

Just open up your eyes
And take the time to breathe
Just open up your eyes
And take the time to breathe
