Scales Songtext
von Citizens

I was in a terrible place
Just a runaway looking from the outside in
I had a hunch in my gut
Wasn′t time to give up, but didn't know what that meant

I was just feeling my way through desert sand
Looking for signs of a promised land
But all the roads that took me nowhere
Were what I needed just to get there

I didn′t know a different story
I was just living what I knew
If you hadn't shown me something more
I might've missed you

It′s funny how pain can be the doorway
And love can be blindly stumbled into
All the scales fell off my eyes
The moment that I saw you


You read me like poetry
I guess what I′m trying to say is
You see me like nobody else does
And now I see it too

I didn't know a different story
I was just living what I knew
If you hadn′t shown me something more
I might've missed you

It′s funny how pain can be the doorway
And love can be blindly stumbled into
All the scales fell off my eyes
The moment that I saw you

Eyes wide, brighter than the blue sky
It's like seeing for the first time
Eyes wide, brighter than the blue sky
It′s like seeing for the first time

I didn't know a different story
I was just living what I knew
If you hadn't shown me something more
I might′ve missed you


It′s funny how pain can be the doorway
And love can be blindly stumbled into
All the scales fell off my eyes
The moment that I saw you
The moment that I saw you
The moment that I saw you

Eyes wide, brighter than the blue sky
It's like seeing for the first time
