She always had her gaze fixed on the ground
like she's having a conversation with it
with eyes that are able to read the soul
with her you can never be sure        
I'm starting to wonder
does she see more to these footprints than we actually do
or is she encoding this path to the books of her mind                              
I'm starting to wonder
what does she know about the ground that we don't    
all I know is that she's the girl that always looked down
look up just for a minute
look up and find me cause I'm lost
I feel like only you can see the truth hidden by my smile
ressurect the soul from this grave of brokenness
your eyes bear a river of redemption
should you decide to look up
I'll dive deep and find serenity
look up and see the trails of these broken hearts  
caused by this broken soul
find my pieces and put me together
sanctify my soul with your sanity                              
proclaim revival against this calamity in the abyss of distress  
should I decide to look up
my eyes will scar you for life
leaving a mark in your heart that no one can erase                                              
during the day they'll be your sunshine
at night they'll be your moon
when your inner strength disappoints you
they'll be the fire that revives your being
should I decide to mould you
I'll be selfish with you
you won't be able to let go
I'll be fixing you for myself
so tell me boy, are you ready for me to look up?
