Familiar Eyes
Chasing Shadows of Familiar Eyes
Lyrics
It was all so fast
Things happened quickly.
You said hello to me last
You greeted me recently.
You always do
This is a habitual action for you.
I think it's supposed to mean something
I believe there's significance in this interaction.
Something to you
It holds importance or meaning for you.
But what am I if I don't chase you
I question my identity if I don't pursue you.
(What am I)
(Reiteration of the self-questioning identity)
(What am I)
-In an attempt to hold
Trying to maintain or grasp onto something.
In an attempt to try
Attempting to make an effort.
You said you don't know me that well
You claim unfamiliarity with me.
My god I know you so well
I possess extensive knowledge about you.
But that's a bit of a relief
This revelation brings a bit of comfort.
It doesn't hurt because you don't know me, right
Your lack of knowledge prevents pain.
Right
Affirming the previous statement.
Every time
I repeatedly believe you'll change your opinion.
I think you'll change your mind
(Reiteration of the belief in potential change)
But what am I if I don't chase you
Questioning my identity if I don't pursue you.
(What am I)
(Reiteration of the self-questioning identity)
(What am I)
-In an attempt to hold
Striving to maintain or grasp onto something.
In an attempt to try
Making an effort to try.
And what are you if not a memory
Questioning your existence if not as a memory.
(Remember me)
(Requesting to be remembered)
(Remember me)
-Just a stranger with familiar eyes
You seem familiar yet distant.
I hear my heart beat in my ears
Feeling intense emotions in response to your presence.
You disappear
You vanish from sight.
You disappear
(Reiteration of your disappearance)
I hear my heart beat in my ears
Heartbeat intensifies in your absence.
You disappear
(Reiteration of your disappearance)
You disappear
-I hear my heart beat in my ears
Heartbeat intensifies in your absence.
You disappear
(Reiteration of your disappearance)
You disappear
-I hear my heart beat in my ears
Heartbeat intensifies in your absence.
You disappear
(Reiteration of your disappearance)
You disappear
-And what if I don't chase you
Contemplating not pursuing you.
But what am I if I don't chase you
Questioning my identity if I don't pursue you.
(What am I)
(Reiteration of the self-questioning identity)
(What am I)
-In an attempt to hold
Striving to maintain or grasp onto something.
In an attempt to try
Making an effort to try.
And what are you if not a memory
Questioning your existence if not as a memory.
(Remember me)
(Requesting to be remembered)
(Remember me)
-Just a stranger with familiar eyes
You appear familiar, but we're still strangers.
Just a stranger with familiar eyes
You seem known yet distant.
