“She seems so cool, so focused, so quiet, yet her eyes remain fixed upon the horizon. You think you know all there is to know about her immediately upon meeting her, but everything you think you know is wrong. Passion flows through her like a river."


I've never been this sure
Or this unsure
In my entire life
I've never been this confident
Or this worried
I've never felt this wonderful
Or this foolish
But then again
I've never seen eyes like yours
Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself
Maybe I'll just get hurt again
But then again
Maybe I should stop thinking myself out of happiness
I have a history of giving my heart away too quickly
And taking it back too soon
I swing in and out of love like a pendulum
Maybe I'm a flight risk
Maybe you're just as worried as I am
Maybe I'm doomed to a life of solitude
There are a million things that could go wrong
Perhaps I'm not the one you're looking for
Perhaps I just have a ridiculous, hopeless heart
Perhaps...we'll just never say hello
I can't help but think
That maybe I'm just setting myself up for heartbreak
Like I always do
Maybe I'm too scared of you falling for someone else
Maybe--
Maybe I should just stop
But then again
I've never seen eyes like yours
