Finally I have you face to face, but your glance is drifting into outer space.
You would see that I am just your guy, if you'd take the time to look me in the eye
Maybe they you'd love me, and maybe then you'd try
to see the world the way it's really been
Maybe then I'd hold you and tell a little lie
You wouldn't wonder why, when all of it is here, in my eye.
Everyday I'm living less and less. Why are you compelled to fall for second best?
Everyday I need you more and more. If you only knew what you were looking for!
Maybe they you'd love me, and maybe then you'd try
to see the world the way it's really been
Maybe then I'd hold you and tell a little lie
You wouldn't wonder why, when all of it is here, in my eye.
