Blind Side
Navigating Love's Blindside: A Musical Journey by Sarah Mendelsohn
Lyrics
Sometimes I don’t see
Sometimes, I struggle to perceive
What’s clearly in front of me
I fail to notice what is evident before me
Warning bells and lightning strikes
Alert signals and sudden impactful events
Cannot penetrate my blissful haze
Cannot break through my contented daze
So sure I’ve seen the light
Confident that I've understood the situation
Alone, not me tonight
However, I am not myself tonight
Like a moth drawn to the flame
Like a moth irresistibly attracted to danger
I get burned but I fly right back again
I endure pain but return to it again
You’d think with all my hindsight
Despite my past experiences and wisdom
Maybe just this once I’d get it right
Perhaps, this time, I'll make the right choice
Sneak up on my blindside
A surprise attack on my vulnerability
You might steal my heart tonight
You may capture my heart tonight
Should give it time, just wait and see
I should be patient and observe
Are you really who you appear to be
Are you genuinely the person you seem to be?
Cause even after all these years
Even after many years have passed
It’s still hard to resist a pretty face
It's still difficult to resist attractiveness
I’ve heard it once, I’ve heard it twice
I've heard advice before but ignore it
Yet I ignore my own best advice
Similar to a moth drawn to danger
And like a moth drawn to the flame
Now, I'm returning to the risky situation
Here’s the part where I fly right back again
Repeating the pattern of getting hurt
You’d think with all my hindsight
Despite my past experiences and wisdom
Maybe just this once I’d get it right
Perhaps, this time, I'll make the right choice
Sneak up on my blindside
A surprise attack on my vulnerability
You might steal my heart tonight
You may capture my heart tonight
But your kiss I do believe
But your kiss I truly believe in
And you hold me so tenderly
You embrace me with great tenderness
You’d think with all my hindsight
Despite my past experiences and wisdom
Maybe just this once I’d get it right
Perhaps, this time, I'll make the right choice
Sneak up on my blindside
A surprise attack on my vulnerability
You might steal my heart tonight
You may capture my heart tonight
Yeah, sneak up on my blindside
Yes, surprise me on my vulnerable side
Cause I think this time I finally got it right!
Because I believe this time I've finally made the right decision!
