The Look (Acoustic)

It's no surprise I think I could fall asleep tonight Holding you tight In danger of a perfect moment of time When you ask me "what's that look for?" How do I explain that it's so much more? It's all the things I don't have the courage to say And not enough time for whatever I may Pay attention to the iris-bound picture book Read my eyes darling, a million words in the look So let it linger As I stare into your eyes I'm caught in your story In a web of your love-laced lines Calm and content here With your lovely permanent grin You're even more perfect When the question comes again You ask me "what's that look for?" How do I explain that it's so much more? It's all the things I don't have the courage to say And not enough time for whatever I may Pay attention to the iris-bound picture book Read my eyes darling, a million words in the look I don't need faith to tell me when I should leap Cause I'm floating farther than the bounds of my wildest dream You've got the magic and I've got the hope, we won't run out of steam I just need the question You ask me "what's that look for?" I'll explain that it's so much more It's all the things I can't don't have the courage to say And not enough time for whatever I may Pay attention to the iris-bound picture book Read my eyes darling, a million words in the look
