I Go Blind

54-40 · 54-40 [2010]

Everytime I look at you I go blind

(Everytime I look at you I go blind)

Everytime I look at you I go blind

(Everytime I look at you I go blind)



In the morning I get up

And I try to feel alive but I can't

(Everytime I look at you I go blind)

I don't know what it is

Something in me just won't give it a chance

I think it's that I feel more confused by the deal

Love has shown me



Little child did you know that there's a light

And it's gonna shine right through your eyes

What do you think that life is like

Everytime I look at you I go blind

I go blind



Somewhere over there

There's a purpose there's a care for free

In me there's nobody

No one plan no one stand to be free

I think it's that because I have seen all the fuss

And it's no big deal (no big deal)



Hold me hold me

'Cause I wanna get high and higher
