lyrics

Lately…I’ve been calling…for your head…for your head
How gently…you remind me…to connect…make friends

If only I could borrow your eyes
I see the worst in it
I see the worst in it
If only I could borrow your eyes
You see the best in it
You see the best in it

Been wading…through a river….of cement…compliments
You shame me…for complaining…won’t let me forget…won’t let me forget

If only I could borrow your eyes
I see the worst in it
I see the worst in it
If only I could borrow your eyes
You see the best in it
You see the best in it

I got so good at getting so upset
You’re the only one who snaps me out of it
I got so good at getting so upset
You’re the only one who calls me out on it
I got so good at getting so upset
You’re the only one who snaps me out of it

If only I could borrow your eyes…
