Keep Your Ey-Eyes, Open!!!!

I was working out last night, and this song came on my Ipod. Not sure why it got stuck in my Killer Workout Mix - but it did, and I'm actually kind of glad it did. Surprised?! Me too. While Taylor Swift isn't typically good workout music, I actually LISTENED to the words. (I find this to be a re-occurring theme when I work out!) I LOVE the words, and how they can be interpreted into different things/walks of life. I understand that this song is to the soundtrack for the Hunger Games (still on my list to read, but haven't made it that far..) Any ways, it really spoke to me. Lately it seems like everyone is waiting, and watching for me to break down - and fail! What I heard in that song is to keep my eyes open - and keep focused on what I want to accomplish! It might not be what she meant her song to say - but that's what I wanted it to say last night!! LOL

Well, in closing here are the lyrics to her song - I hope you can find some inspiration in there somewhere as well!! :)   OH, tomorrow I weigh in, again!!! Fingers Crossed for me please!!!!!

Everybody's waiting
Everybody's watching
Even when you're sleeping
Keep your ey-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 our wooden swords
But now we've stepped into a cruel world
Where everybody stands 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 ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-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 (turn around), oh they've surrounded you
It's a showdown (showdown) and nobody comes to save you now
But you've got something they don't
Yeah you've got something they don't
You've 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 ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes

Keep your feet ready
Heartbeat steady
Keep your eyes open
Keep your aim locked
The night goes 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 ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
