Red Eye Lyrics


I lost perspective of who I was, I hit the wall
I knew that it would take a lot but it took it all
No you don't come this far to turn around, covered too many miles
No you don't get this close to breaking down just to close your eyes

While the world sleeps under my feet tonight
I'm chasing myself in the sky
While the world sleeps under my feet tonight
I'll be up here learning to fly
When you know that you can't let go
And your heart already knows
Sure to hurt but it's worth it to be burned
'Cause one day you'll get home
Still it feels like I am always on the Red Eye

This time around it's not even about getting paid
I'm just an addict for the moment when the magic is made
And when you are who you are who you really are
It can put you through hell
Spend a day in the skin that you want to live in
To see how it feels

While the world sleeps under my feet tonight
I'm chasing myself in the sky
While the world sleeps under my feet tonight
I'll be up here learning to fly
When you know that you can't let go
And your heart already knows
Sure to hurt but it's worth it to be burned
'Cause one day you'll get home
Still it feels like I am always on the red
It feels like I am always on the red eye

I'm finding myself these days
Looking down from a window shade
I'm counting lies on hours
Just when I should be counting sheep
Truth is I can't complain
I do it over and over again and over again

While the world sleeps under my feet tonight
I'm chasing myself in the sky
While the world sleeps under my feet tonight
I'll be up here learning to fly

While the world sleeps under my feet tonight
I'm chasing myself in the sky
While the world sleeps under my feet tonight
I'll be up here learning to fly
When you know that you can't let go
And your heart already knows
Sure to hurt but it's worth it to be burned
'Cause one day you'll get home
Still it feels like I am always on the red
It feels like I am always on the red eye

Red Eye Song Chart
  • A "red eye" is an overnight flight, something Grammer got very familiar with when he was touring. "'Red Eye' is about getting over the hump when nobody knows who you are, nobody cares, and you really just have to hit each major city in this country so many times," he said in our interview . "And the only way to really do that, to go from city to city to city every single day, is to play a show in the city that you're in, and then get on the plane and sleep, and sleep on the plane while it flies through the night to the next city. And that gets pretty intense."
