Dark Eyes
Longing for Dark Eyes: A Heart's Silent Desire
Lyrics
I hide myself away
I isolate myself
Waiting to be found
Anticipating discovery
But nobody knows I'm here
Undetected by others
I won't put things right
I won't resolve things
By keeping out of sight
By staying hidden
That much must be clear
Clarity in avoiding resolution
I dream and want but I don't try
I yearn and desire without effort
I just long and long for those dark eyes
Longing for enigmatic eyes
Someone I can almost feel
Seeking someone tangible
And my life sleeps away
My life passing while dormant
Away as I wait
Fading away during anticipation
To gaze into them
To peer into those eyes
Like it's just going to happen
Expecting it to unfold naturally
I've a heart that needs a home
A heart seeking a place
But more needs to be done
More action required
I'm acting like life somehow owes me
Behaving entitled to life
I can't just trust in fate
No blind reliance on destiny
Let shyness win and wait
Letting shyness hinder
Wait for the world to come to me
Awaiting the world's initiation
I dream and want but I don't try
Dreaming without proactive effort
I just long and long for those dark eyes
Craving those mysterious eyes
Someone I can almost feel
Longing for a tangible connection
And my life slips away
Life slipping away during passivity
Away as I wait
Diminishing with anticipation
To gaze into them
Yearning to look into them
Like it's just going to happen
Expecting it to unfold effortlessly
As if she's just going to knock on my door
Imagining she'll come to me
As if she's just going to knock on my door
Repeating the anticipation
Someone I know
Someone unknown
Nothing about
Unfamiliar details
Who has a name
Having a name
Who's doing something
Engaged in some activity
Right now
Currently
I dream and want but I don't try
Yearning without effort
I just long and long for those dark eyes
Longing for enigmatic eyes
Someone I can almost feel
Seeking a palpable connection
And my life sleeps away
Life drifting away during inaction
Away as I wait
Fading with anticipation
To gaze into them
Yearning to peer into them
Like it's just going to happen
Expecting it to unfold naturally
