DON'T BLINK
©Ruby Bird & Billy Carl Mancini, Bonk Zone Music ASCAP
Don't blink the world is turning 'round
Don't think relax and let it down
I turn around
And I don't remember all the things we said
Write it down
Try to recapture all the things we did
Slow it down
Take a picture of you and keep it in my head
A moments time it all slips away
Don't blink (Don’t look down again)
The world is turning 'round
(The view’s much better up here)
Don't think (Words that never end)
Don't listen to the sound
(It just gets stuck in your ear)
He tells me I'm too complicated
Sensitive to everything
Feel my eyes giving me away
There is an open heart floating on my sleeve
I can't change that I was born with that
Don't blink (Don’t fall down again)
The world is turning 'round
(You look much better from here)
Don't think (This is not the end)
Relax and let it down
(And we’ve got nothing to fear)
Slow it down
Take a picture of you and keep it in my head
Another day will slip away
Don't blink (Don’t look down again)
The world is turning 'round
(The world’s not slipping away)
Don't think (This is not the end)
Relax and let it down
(Cause we got something to feel…love)
Feel love It's somewhere to be found
(Cause we’ve got something that’s real…love)
Hold someone close before you're in the ground
