In Your Eyes Lyrics
I can still remember, long ago
Living in the fast lane, never slow
And nothing that could come between me and you
I still hear the words I thought were cheap
You should always look before you leap
And I never realised those words were oh so true
I hope that you can hear me
Though you're living in another world
Throwing shadows upon earth
In your eyes, I could drown and still survive
In your eyes, I could see how to live my life
But if only I knew
That chances were few
Maybe I would still be with you
Several thoughts I can't define
Living on a dream, seems like a crime
But every now and then it's hard to ignore
'Cause only in my dreams I find a clue
when i try to build a memory of you
I know our love will be much stronger than before
Living in the fast lane, never slow
And nothing that could come between me and you
You should always look before you leap
And I never realised those words were oh so true
Though you're living in another world
Throwing shadows upon earth
In your eyes, I could see how to live my life
But if only I knew
That chances were few
Maybe I would still be with you
Living on a dream, seems like a crime
But every now and then it's hard to ignore
when i try to build a memory of you
I know our love will be much stronger than before

People sometimes say that you should try and date a lot of different people, so you can "figure out what you want" before you get married or have a long-term relationship. I don't think this advice is always a good idea, and this song sort of explains why. It sounds like the narrator was in a generally good relationship, but she felt an urge to explore. Now she regrets her choice, but her former boyfriend/husband has moved on. He is involved with/married to someone else and has a whole different life now. Hence the "You're living in another world". One day I overheard a co-worker talking to another co-worker. She mentioned that she had been with her husband for ten years, and now she realizes that her previous boyfriend was the man who made her the happiest. He was now married to someone else. It sounded like she was staying with her husband as a second choice. (Which I think is unfair to the husband.)

Deep ,sensual song, about having a strong love for someone "and nothing that could come between me and you". it seemed so perfect, nothing else mattered.
"I hope that you can hear me, Though you're living in another world". this to me means that she lost her loved one, and still obviously she will never for get what they meant to her, and if she had the chance again to have them, their love would be renewed, given a new found meaning and definition.. I'm sure we all have loved someone so deeply that even if we lost them, we would still think of them constantly, and would feel as if no one else could replace them. Love is precious.....so cherish it when you have it and do what you can to keep it.
