Your Eyes, Seamless And Sure

Here's something I wrote today. Title is from a Thrice song. I think this is the next thing I'm going to record. I like it a lot.

oh how i miss the brilliance she brought
to my empty colorless field
and it's amazing how much i miss
the way her hair fell on her face
and everything now is black and white
because she left and took all the color from the place

now my eyes can’t see the bright

and they’ve lost all their drive

because of the void that your leaving left in my heart

and the refractions from your eyes

though completely divine,

are much too far away to lend the shine they used to give

how I wish you’d be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
and to feel your skin and your breath against my neck
you've taken all of mine so you should share yours
it's hard to breath when you're alone (I know)
you're a lifeline in this life of mine
so why'd we end up alone?
I guess we were running out of time
and we never it saw it coming home

I wish I knew what would have happened and what life had for us in store

Oh, a lover’s lost lament, one so obviously uttered and yet so difficult to cure

It’s like the light you give off is being pulled away from my eyes

And they’re not able to flip you right side up in time

You get into my brain, upside down and colored wrong and in this state you run amuck

Until we speak again, and then you’re right side up inside my head again

I love how you set me straight, even with the distance I still feel you like a blade

The light from your eyes is always more than enough

to light up these dimly lit hallways where I lay

So won’t you come again? Maybe in the Spring I’ll see you and you can color in my world

It’s not that I hang on every word, I hang myself on what you do to me

It’s not that I keep hanging on, although you may think that’s the case

I’m just never letting go, even throughout our little chase

Until the light from your eyes brings color to the black and white once more

how I wish you’d be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
to feel your skin and your breath against my neck
you've taken mine so you should share yours
it's hard to breath when you're alone (I know)
you're a lifeline in this life of mine
so why'd we end up alone?
I guess we were running out of time
and we never it saw it coming home

I wish I knew what would have happened and what life had for us in store

Oh, a lover’s lost lament, one so obviously uttered and yet so difficult to cure

The colors from your eyes

Utterly divine

I guess we were just running out of time

You’re pulling light out of my eyes

Utterly divine

This fluorescent world’s got nothing on your big brown eyes

Utterly divine

Won’t you color in my world again?
