The Eye - Brandi Carlile

It really breaks my heart

To see a dear old friend

Go down in the worn old place again

Do you know the sound

Of a closing door?

Have you heard that sound somewhere before?

Do you wonder if she knows you anymore?

I wrapped your love around me like a chain

But I never was afraid that it would die

You can dance in a hurricane

But only if you’re standing in the eye

Where did you learn to walk?

Where did you learn to run?

Away from everything you love

Did you think the bottle

Would ever ease your pain?

Did you think that love’s a foolish game?

Did you find someone else to take the blame?

I wrapped your love around me like a chain

But I never was afraid that it would die

You can dance in a hurricane

But only if you’re standing in the eye

You can dance in a hurricane

But only if you’re standing in the eye

I am a sturdy soul

And there ain’t no shame

In lying down in the bed you’ve made

Can you fight the urge to run for another day?

You might make it further if you learn to stay

I wrapped your love around me like a chain

But I never was afraid that it would die

You can dance in a hurricane

But only if you’re standing in the eye

You can dance in a hurricane

But only if you’re standing in the eye
