Of Montreal - I Was Watching Your Eyes Lyrics

I Was Watching Your Eyes Lyrics - Of Montreal

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.
