lyrics

she had interested eyes that night
leaning in on nervous words
motions fluttered like a bird
the crowd would hide me in plain sight

it’s one thing to be a friend
and then there is another
hard to say where one could end
and then begin as lovers

that final word best left unsaid
and with that knowledge comes
the answer sitting in my head
the parts are greater than the sum

there was no spoken evidence
yet that night i seemed convinced
looking back the eyes were mine
my ego craved a chance to dine

imagination grew to truth
rejecter’s triumph gave new power
those interactions so aloof
would fade with realistic hours

she had interested eyes that night
though it really never matters
they existed just to flatter
that bird in memory took fluttered flight

inconsequential, the degree
of what she said by how she’d see
her need and mine, the same as yours
love is never gained by force
and though i fail so often still
i’ve got to fight the urge to fill
my heart with others’ love but yet
fill theirs with mine, that’s how i get
your interested eyes tonight
how i get your

interested lives tonight
by giving something of myself
sometimes unwanted, left on shelf
that makes in neither wrong or right
my worth is found in what i give
and when i take and keep i’m naught
thievery and death i’ve got
at least right now i’ll try to live
