Do I have the right
To be frustrated with you?
Am I possibly
In any situation
To request more of you? No.

I think of you more
And yet you think of me less
I've messed this up now.

Step into my eyes
I know it's not
Going just how you'd like
You just can't see how
Anything could come out right
From your perspective

This mountain's taller than any other
This valley's deeper, the slopes are steeper
Trust me, even when you feel ashamed
I see a love that's greater than your pain

What I see in you
Won't give up now, no
What I see in you
Smiles when you're down low
What you see can't get you down
What you see will turn around
But what I see in you
What I see in you
Can overcome.

Just you look around
There’s more than this
Stress just gets you down
But there’s more than this
If you look through my eyes
You’ll see what I see

This mountain's taller than any other
This valley's deeper, the slopes are steeper
Trust me, even when you feel ashamed
I see a love that's greater than your pain

What I see in you
Won't give up now, no
What I see in you
Smiles when you're down low
What you see can't get you down
What you see will turn around
But what I see in you
What I see in you
Can overcome.

Words don't come to me when I think of you;
They slip through my fingers to this sandy ground.
Perhaps if I knew just exactly who
You were, the words would finally be found.
You are mysterious, but so am I;
You don't show emotion, but then, I don't.
Seeing you come can make me smile wide,
But when you dissolve into mist, I won't.
I only know the numbers in your dreams,
The things you wish, the things you're hoping for
But there's another side to you it seems
Maybe if I look, I will find there's more.
Who knows where our paths may someday lead us?
It's more than I can hope to be in love.
