The Kid With The Velvet Eyes Lyrics

Every day, people sway
softly lulling me to sleep
I look the other way
but I still can't look too deep
I think I'll fall asleep
I think I'll fall asleep

So call up and tell him that you will survive
good looking kid with the velvet eyes
you and me and everything's gonna be fine

Every night, people fight
gently lulling me to sleep
what gives me the right
to waste away and weep
I think I'll turn away
there's nothing left to say

So call up and tell him that you will survive
good looking kid with the velvet eyes
you and me and everything's gonna be fine
so you wanna have everything your heart desires
there's a fist full of people with their hearts on fire
make your way on up to the front of the line

Get out of my way
I'm here now to stay
Get out of my way
I'm here now to stay

So call up and tell him that you will survive
good looking kid with the velvet eyes
you and me and everything's gonna be fine
so you wanna have everything your heart desires
there's a fist full of people with their hearts on fire
make your way on up to the front of the line

Every day, people sway
softly lulling me to sleep
I look the other way
but I still can't look too deep
I think I'll fall asleep
I think I'll fall asleep

So call up and tell him that you will survive
good looking kid with the velvet eyes
you and me and everything's gonna be fine

Every night, people fight
gently lulling me to sleep
what gives me the right
to waste away and weep
I think I'll turn away
there's nothing left to say

So call up and tell him that you will survive
good looking kid with the velvet eyes
you and me and everything's gonna be fine
so you wanna have everything your heart desires
there's a fist full of people with their hearts on fire
make your way on up to the front of the line

Get out of my way
I'm here now to stay
Get out of my way
I'm here now to stay

So call up and tell him that you will survive
good looking kid with the velvet eyes
you and me and everything's gonna be fine
so you wanna have everything your heart desires
there's a fist full of people with their hearts on fire
make your way on up to the front of the line

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I've got no idea what this song is about or where to find it, but it's probably one of my favorite Maroon 5/Kara's Flowers songs.
