Taylor Swift 'Eyes Open' Lyrics Video

The Taylor Swift Eyes Open music video may not be here yet, but Taylor did fans a favor, releasing an Eyes Open lyric video.

Check out the Eyes Open lyrics below and the video, which shows handwritten words on paper and Post-Its, as well as sketches in the fun stop-motion animated video.

So cute!

Taylor just donated $4 million to Nashville's Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum to support music education, including the Taylor Swift Education Center.

Love her!



Taylor Swift Eyes Open lyrics:

"Everybody's waiting
Everybody's watching
Even when you're sleeping
Keep your eyes, eyes open

The tricky thing is
Yesterday we were just children
Playing soldiers, just pretending
Dreaming dreams with happy endings
In backyards,
Winning battles with the wooden swords
But now we've stepped into a cruel world
Where everybody stands up,
And keeps score
Keep your eyes open

Everybody's waiting
For you to breakdown
Everybody's watching
To see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open

So here you are
Two steps ahead and staying on guard
Every lesson forms a new scar
They never thought you'd make it this far
But turn around
Now they've surrounded you
It's a showdown
And nobody comes to save you now
But you got something they don't
Yeah, you got something they don't
You just gotta keep your eyes open

Everybody's waiting
For you to breakdown
Everybody's watching
To see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes

Keep your feet ready
Heartbeat steady
Keep your eyes open
Keep your aim locked
The night grows dark
Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open (4x)

Everybody's waiting
For you to breakdown
Everybody's watching
To see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
Keep your eyes open"

Taylor Swift Opens Up About 'Hunger Games' Songs 'Safe & Sound' and 'Eyes Open'

Taylor Swift has contributed two songs to 'The Hunger Games' soundtrack and now she's opening up about both tunes in the latest issue of Rolling Stone.

According to the 22-year-old singer, it was a relief to put herself in Katniss Everdeen's shoes. "Slipping into her mind was such a wonderful break," Taylor says of writing from the character's point of view. "It's pretty intense writing about my own life, my own struggles. It was almost like a vacation to get to write from someone else's perspective."

Taylor's song 'Eyes Open' recently leaked, revealing a rock vibe that fans aren't used to hearing from the country star. By the same token, Tay shows off a darker, brooding side on 'Safe & Sound,' which came out of a two-hour writing session with the Civil Wars at soundtrack producer T Bone Burnett's studio last fall.

"The Civil Wars had a show that night in L.A.," Taylor adds. "So they raced right over to T Bone's house. There's so many things he could've done production-wise to make that song bigger sonically than it is, but I think that would have possibly been a mistake. For him to have left the song as a lullaby is brilliant."

Snippets of 'Hunger Games' Soundtrack Album Include Taylor Swift's 'Eyes Open'

On the day "The Hunger Games" gets its world premiere at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, all of its theme songs from the soundtrack album are revealed in a snippet compilation. There's one called "Eyes Open" that is sung by Taylor Swift, and another titled "Kingdom Come" that is performed by her "Safe & Sound" featured guest The Civil Wars.

The "Eyes Open" opens with Taylor crooning, "Everybody's waiting/ Everybody's watching/ Even when you're sleeping/ Keep your eyes open." She continues, "Yesterday we were just children/ Playing soldier just pretending/ Dreaming dreams with happy ending/ In backyards battle with the wooden swords."

The "Eyes Open" still features some rousing drum beat although it has a touch of mellow vibes, but the "Kingdom Come" seems to be a pure ballad with slower melody. "It's our homage to a survival song," Joy Williams told EW. "And also to trying to keep your cool and stay rational in a ridiculous situation."

The other Civil Wars member, John Paul White, went on explaining, "It's a little bit of 'It's going to be okay, it's going to be all right, we're going to make it through this,' even when the situation around you is more dire than you'd care to admit. I think it's how we all cope."

The soundtrack album for "The Hunger Games" will also feature "songs from District 12 and beyond" by Kid Cudi, Miranda Lambert, The Decemberists and Arcade Fire. The CD is going to arrive in the United States on March 20, while "The Hunger Games" itself will be released nationwide three days later.
