Stereo Eyes

Do you see me waving?

From the distance

And I wonder how it feels

As discomposure takes its place

(But I'd love to see your face)

When you see what I'm waving

Now seated so safely in this crowd

And you know that I'm laughing

I'm laughing, because look who's cheering now

Your voice is calling out right now

But I don't hear a sound

I see you in stereo (eyes, cause I've seen them before)

You hear me in black and white

So here is the question

"Is this the way you want your life?"

(Your life…)

Now it seems so easy

Just to walk away

So straight faced without saying a word

(And you know!) it doesn't work that way

(It never meant anything)

I can see that you're hiding

You're hiding behind all of your lies

You're always wishing you had this

But you know it's not so simple now

I see you in stereo (eyes, cause I've seen them before)

You hear me in black and white

So here is the question

"Is this the way you want your life?"

(Your life…)

(I can see that you're hiding

You're hiding behind all of your lies

You're always wishing you had this

But you know it's not so simple now) (x2)

(And all this time you lived a lie

You cried out for a life

Where you know you could be yourself

And every day I walk the line

A line that you decide

Where giving in is giving up)

I see you in stereo (eyes, cause I've seen them before)

You hear me in black and white

So here is the question

Is this the way you want your life?

(Your life…)

I see you in stereo (eyes, cause I've seen them before)

I see you in stereo (eyes!)

I see you in stereo

(Is this the way you want your life?)

(Your life…) (in Black and white!)
