When I look into your eyes,
I forget all of the bad things;
The cigarette that burns
Between my fingers
And the embrace that never
Quite reached me in my youth.
I forget who everyone wants me to be,
And I remember who I am
Because that is who you want me to be.

When I look into your eyes,
I remember all of the good things;
The butterflies in my stomach
And the lyrics that resonate in my skull.
Lying next to you, I know
That the sun will shine once more,
And when I wake up next to you,
I will kiss your lips
And look into your eyes
And forget and remember it all once again.
