Once upon a time I was careless and cavalier
I took it all for granted, I thought I had nothing to fear
But staring down the darkness made a believer out of me
Ever since I almost lost you, I have new eyes to see

I can’t unknow how fragile we are, suspended up so high
One foot in front of the other on a tightrope in the sky
But when we walk together, I feel alive and free
Ever since I almost lost you, I have new eyes to see

Life can be unexpected, unforgiving and mean
It’s like sailing in a paper boat on a temperamental sea
But now I’m looking for the lighthouse to shine the way for me
Ever since I almost lost you, I have new eyes to see

Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo

It’s by the grace of blind luck that I am still here
I’ll carry that with me for the rest of my living years
We all get our second chances to choose who we want to be
Ever since I almost lost you, I have new eyes to see

Staring down the darkness made a believer out of me
Ever since I almost lost you, I have new eyes to see
