In Your Eyes

Take ‘em windows down,
Keep your head held high,
And my mouth goes dry
For this time you and I
Will become something other
Than I and than you.
Easy say, hard to do.
Don’t you say it is over
When I look in your
Eyes.

And I see myself
Crashing down in the gutter,
I see myself
Going down, down
Mixed up with the snow and the dirt and the water,
Drowning and choking in your, your
Eyes.

As seasons pass by,
And leaves turn to ashes,
And midsummer rain
Washes all dreams ashore,
I wake up alone, with your image frozen,
A smile on a photo that’s hundred years old.

And I see myself
Crashing down in the gutter,
I see myself
Going down, down
Mixed up with the snow and the dirt and the water,
Drowning and choking in your, your
Eyes.

Day after day, as they drag one another
Speeding up slightly then coming to stop,
Light fades away, and all memories crumble.
No way to tell if we happened or not.

And I see myself
Crashing down in the gutter,
I see myself
Going down, down
Mixed up with the snow and the dirt and the water,
Drowning and choking in your—

I see myself
Crashing down, going under,
I see myself
Going all the way down
Mixed up with the snow and the dirt and the water,
Drowning and choking in your, your
Eyes.
