I Was Watching Your Eyes Songtext
von of Montreal

I want to write something beautiful,
Something so beautiful
That I just can′t sing it
Without getting that incredible feeling,
The one that just overwhelms my senses.
Because it's the only thing I have,
It′s the only thing that makes my life worthwhile.


I know there aren't too many people
Who allow themselves to say what they feel,
So I was watching your eyes,
In case they just might say something.

I want to think someone's beautiful,
That they′re so beautiful it′s a thrill to be near them.
Fill my stomach with butterflies,
Have me floating on air,
Bring something out of me I didn't know was there.
But it′s such a torturous thing
That I am not excited by anyone.


I know there aren't too many people
Who allow themselves to say what they feel,
So I was watching your eyes,
In case they just might say something.
