We're too busy to look at the city
We don't open our eyes for the pretty
Try to play it cool so we don't get hurt
Is it fear of a life that we're living?
Are we scared of the love that we're giving?
Try to push it down so we don't feel low

Stay a while so we can dream
So many miles, don't go to sleep

Open your eyes up, shy love
Shake off anything that holds you too tight
Everybody, everybody needs somebody
Open your eyes up, shy love
I can be the one to burn you so bright
Everybody, everybody needs somebody

Maybe when we get back home
We won't have to be alone
Shy love, shy love
Make me make you come alive

We feel safer to hide in the shadows
Stay away from the things that we don't know
Never take a risk so we never break (never break)
But the more that we stay here unbroken
They'll be too many words left unspoken
And we'll miss the colors that change our lives

(We don't have to do nothing crazy)
Stay a while so we can dream (we don't have to do nothing crazy)
So many miles don't go to sleep

Open your eyes up, shy love
Shake off anything that holds you too tight
Everybody, everybody needs somebody
Open your eyes up, shy love
I can be the one to burn you so bright
Everybody, everybody needs somebody

Maybe when we get back home
We won't have to be alone
Shy love, shy love
Make me make you come alive

Everybody, everybody needs somebody
Everybody, everybody needs somebody
Everybody, everybody needs somebody
Everybody, everybody needs somebody

Open your eyes up, shy love
Shake off anything that holds you too tight
Everybody, everybody needs somebody
Open your eyes up, shy love
I can be the one to burn you so bright
Everybody, everybody needs somebody

Maybe when we get back home
We won't have to be alone
Shy love, shy love
Make me make you come alive
