Lies and Eyes Lyrics
He regrets having no regrets
and his long nights on the outside
letting letting it slide slide
one more time
He can't stand it when you talk to him
in that voice that sounds like your mother
He's watching your mouth move
he turns words into white noise
He blocks you out
What do you want?
What do you want to know?
Make a decision
it never feels like the right time to go
(what do you want, what do you want to know?)
You think he's a liar
so save your sorrow
He wants to want nothing
nothing to do with a woman
You fall in love with his lies and eyes
and you think that he listens
while you act like you are losing your mind
over whatever truth you find to be a lie
as he fades out of the room
into his mind
What do you want?
What do you want to know?
Make a decision
it never feels like the right time to go
(what do you want, what do you want to know?)
You think he's a liar
so save your sorrow
Pick up the pieces of these words
shattered across the floor
with careful hands
you know these words are sharp
and you can read the blood
you can read the blood
(what do you want, what do you want to know?)
It spells out everything about a man
who he is and where he's been
you watched his eyes ten thousand times
but you don't see
maybe you're wrong
and his long nights on the outside
letting letting it slide slide
one more time
in that voice that sounds like your mother
He's watching your mouth move
he turns words into white noise
He blocks you out
What do you want to know?
Make a decision
it never feels like the right time to go
(what do you want, what do you want to know?)
You think he's a liar
so save your sorrow
nothing to do with a woman
You fall in love with his lies and eyes
and you think that he listens
over whatever truth you find to be a lie
as he fades out of the room
into his mind
What do you want to know?
Make a decision
it never feels like the right time to go
(what do you want, what do you want to know?)
You think he's a liar
so save your sorrow
shattered across the floor
with careful hands
you know these words are sharp
and you can read the blood
you can read the blood
(what do you want, what do you want to know?)
who he is and where he's been
you watched his eyes ten thousand times
but you don't see
maybe you're wrong

Just a few here. Blur is actually blood. (That section is on the Dangerbird page for the band.) Knowing that word, it helps fix the next line after that which is, "Spells out everything about one man / Who he is and where he's been"
My listening of the lyrics:
He regrets having no regrets And his long nights on the outside Letting it slide One more time He cant stand it when you talk to him in that voice that sounds like your mother He's watching your mouth move He turns words into white noise He blocks you out
What do you want, what do you want to know? The good decision Never feels like the right time, girl (What do you want, what do you want to know?) You think he's a liar So save your sorrow
He wants to, want nothing Nothing to do with the woman Who fall in love with his lies, eyes And you think that he listens
While you act like you are losing your mind Over whatever truth you find to be a lie As he fades out of the room, into his mind
What do you want, what do you want to know? The good decision Never feels like the right time, girl (What do you want, what do you want to know?) Think he's a liar So save your sorrow
Pick up the pieces of these words Shattered across the floor With careful hands You know his words are sharp and you can read the blood You can read the blood You can read the blood You can read the blood (What do you want, what do you want to know?) You can read the blood
Spells out everything about one man Who he is and where he's been You watch his eyes ten thousand times But you don't see Maybe you're wrong
