I Was Watching Your Eyes Lyrics

I want to write something beautiful
Something so beautiful that I just can't sing it
Without getting that incredible feeling
The one that just overwhelms my senses
Because it's the only thing I have
It's the only thing that makes my life worthwhile

I know there aren't too many people
Who allow themselves to say what they feel
So I was watching your eyes
In case they just might say something

I want to think someone's beautiful
That they're so beautiful it's a thrill to be near them
Fill my stomach with butterflies, have me floating on air
Bring something out of me I didn't know was there
But it's such a torturous thing
That I am not excited by anyone

I know there aren't too many people
Who allow themselves to say what they feel
So I was watching your eyes
In case they just might say something

i am deeply in love with the first paragraph of the song.. it sounds so honest and it really shows in his work that he is really dedicate, and i guess almost all independent artists can relate to that so lovely

"So I was watching your eyes, In case they just might say something."

That's my favorite lyrics in this song. So beautiful.

this song is really sad to me. it seems like either he is watching someone and hoping that they love him or he feels numb and disconnected from life and he wants to feel anything, good or bad

I'm head over heels in love with this song. I'm pretty sure it's "they just might say something real." But, anway.

I want to write something beautiful Something so beautiful that I just can't sing it Without getting that incredible feeling The one that just overwhelms my senses Because it's the only thing I have It's the only thing that makes my life worthwhile

  • This part reminds me of a line from a show. She wanted her art to mean something. To make a difference. Something that could almost physically touch your soul. She didn't want to show it to the world until she knew it could change it. And that's what all real artists really want. It's generally the reason true artists do what they do.

I know there aren't too many people Who allow themselves to say what they feel So I was watching your eyes In case they just might say something (real)

  • The beginning is pretty self-explanatory; people who do feel or have the ability to create such powerful art, particularly with words, don't. Whether it's fear or neglect. With these words, he's hoping to unleash more words. For himself, and for whoever's eyes he's watching.

I want to think someone's beautiful That they're so beautiful it's a thrill to be near them Fill my stomach with butterflies, have me floating on air Bring something out of me I didn't know was there But it's such a torturous thing That I am not excited by anyone

  • I agree with what Pandora said. He's longing for anything other than numbness. He seems more focused on finding true love; someone his heart would flutter for even when he just hears their name.

I know there aren't too many people Who allow themselves to say what they feel So I was watching your eyes In case they just might say something (real)

  • Repeat.

I also think that eyes represent souls. Because obviously you can't watch someone's soul, but a lot of people feel that you can just look into someone's eyes and know everything you need to about them. Anyway, though, I guess I pointed out some obvious stuff, but this song is incredible, and needed another comment. :3
