Eyes Like Twins Lyrics
I recognize that smile
Our winter was oh so cold
You wore your mysterious cloak just like a child
No careless words were said
We spoke with eyes instead
We looked into each other like long lost friends
But then you went away
And I never heard
You had a summer haunt
You said the ice would kill
But you would not be caught
We have eyes like twins
Where your last thought ends my next begins always
Just one heartbeat away
From everything I mean to say oh
Catch me I'm falling like you
Wish for me I'll come running to save you
Touch me I'm calling for you
Remember me, I will never betray you
We have eyes like twins
I slept a thousand hours
My heart felt cold as a cowards
You sent a southern breeze like a forest fire
I heard those voices too
I dreamed each dream with you
We breathe as one together and shed our tears
But then I woke with you
And my dream came true
I'll never hold you here
I know when winter comes that you will disappear
We have eyes like twins
Where your last thought ends my next begins always
Just one heartbeat away
From everything I mean to say oh
Catch me I'm falling like you
Wish for me I'll come running to save you
Touch me I'm calling for you
Remember me, I will never betray you
We have eyes like twins
I see red, when you're in danger
And I see blue, when you are crying
All the pictures I believe
You are no stranger
You are no stranger
We have eyes like twins
Where your last thought ends my next begins always
Just one heartbeat away
From everything I mean to say oh
Catch me I'm falling like you
Wish for me I'll come running to save you
Touch me I'm calling for you
Remember me, I will never betray you
We have eyes like twins
Catch me I'm falling like you
Remember me, you are no stranger
We have eyes like twins
You are no stranger to me
Just one heartbeat away
Our winter was oh so cold
You wore your mysterious cloak just like a child
No careless words were said
We spoke with eyes instead
We looked into each other like long lost friends
But then you went away
And I never heard
You had a summer haunt
You said the ice would kill
But you would not be caught
Where your last thought ends my next begins always
Just one heartbeat away
From everything I mean to say oh
Catch me I'm falling like you
Wish for me I'll come running to save you
Touch me I'm calling for you
Remember me, I will never betray you
We have eyes like twins
My heart felt cold as a cowards
You sent a southern breeze like a forest fire
I heard those voices too
I dreamed each dream with you
We breathe as one together and shed our tears
But then I woke with you
And my dream came true
I'll never hold you here
I know when winter comes that you will disappear
Where your last thought ends my next begins always
Just one heartbeat away
From everything I mean to say oh
Catch me I'm falling like you
Wish for me I'll come running to save you
Touch me I'm calling for you
Remember me, I will never betray you
We have eyes like twins
And I see blue, when you are crying
All the pictures I believe
You are no stranger
You are no stranger
Where your last thought ends my next begins always
Just one heartbeat away
From everything I mean to say oh
Catch me I'm falling like you
Wish for me I'll come running to save you
Touch me I'm calling for you
Remember me, I will never betray you
We have eyes like twins
Remember me, you are no stranger
We have eyes like twins
You are no stranger to me
Just one heartbeat away

Love this song. It always bothered me the lyrics are always displayed as 'Catch me, I'm falling for you", when they say 'like', not 'for'. Even the original booklet probably had those lyrics, and yet it isn't what's sung.
I'm so glad you said that shikonaori, thank you. "Like" makes more sense because I think this song is about siblings.

I have always loved this song, but the lyrics can be interpreted any number of ways. I do know, however, why there is a discrepancy in the lyrics--this song was originally recorded by Rupert Hine with slightly different lyrics. "Then you went away/And I never heard" was "Then you flew awat/Like a migrant bird" and "I knew when winter comes that you will disappear" was "I know that every winter you must disappear. Also "All the pictures I believe" was "All those pictures you believe."
My favorite Wilson Phillips song. I always signed off my radio show with it in 1990-91.
