Your eyes
When I look into your eyes
I see the milky-way unfold itself and shine array
When I look into your eyes I see a million dreams cast away
I see the passion driven hope you hold inside your eyes
And the love that keeps on floating by
I see them wide open staring at the ceiling lying in your bed
I notice all the little things that make you shake your head
But your eyes they shine and light up mine that are far too dead
They tell a story of a boy who never set foot on the ocean
And water crept up on his skin while he was sleeping
And it pulled him under before he could keep on breathing
So he lost control and let himself sink into the deep end
When he awoke he drifted on the shore
And found a girl of beauty and even more
She lifted him up and carried him above her shoulders
There was no weight that could keep her from carrying a thousand fallen soldiers
She fed and clothed him until he stood again
And love befell his heart and he would never sin again
Her smile shot daggers through his heart, he sees things from a broken lens
The night drew near and she tucked him in
She said “when you remember where your home is, I’ll return you then.”
He said “my home is wherever you roam, or with whom I am in love with.”
She leaned in for a kiss and he awoke to find a dream-like bliss that clouded sensibilities and vision of reality
And he looked down at me, with those eyes that show disappointment
Oh I should have known
That he would never dream of me
