Of Montreal: "I Was Watching Your Eyes" Lyrics

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.
