perpetual glance / Darin Porter

perpetual glance



It's not our fault...

it wasn't right what didn't arise from our eyes
it's what made me feel sorry standing there

say it all... then again, say no more
say I'm going to get through this...
win this fight and be alright...
say anything to help me get through the night
Never take my eyes off of you
Never leave my sight...
your whispers shatter my fears
I smile and it feels right...
help me fall asleep tonight

Say you want me to stay...
with just one look, I want you to be there
promise me with your eyes all over me...
anywhere and everywhere
I want to be that one to be seen...
be seen by you...
perpetual glances never to be taken seriously...
rather loving and never lightly

Just another thing to walk another day with you...
Now I'd give anything just to walk another day with you
I can't fly without your looks to make me fly...
The glances I mistook for condescension and mistrust
I always duplicate... a miserable failure to even try...
around every corner, perpetual glances at an empty sky

ok, so our looks were no good for you
Can't you see how I've always been gone?
Glances accepted but not reflected
I loved you for so long...
I simply couldn't bring myself to tell you before a new dawn
Can't you see how I'd do anything for you?
I just couldn't do that sweetie...
I just couldn't see... the glances between you and me
