Eyes for this Town
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been dying to see your face around
But i've only got eyes for this town
Cause' i've been dying to leave
But you're keeping me on my feet
And I wrote a letter with your name on it
Cause' things just aren't the same
And you're missing out
You're missing on the days (woah)
The days when it was better (woah)
Tell me
Can you hold you breath for me
For me, for me tonight
It's a shame that I can't buy your time
Always having to put up with the lies
And shit you put
All the shit that you put me through
And even if you somehow change
Into someone who remembers names
You'd still forget
You'd still forget about me (woah)
Forget about me (woah)
Tell me
Can you hold your breath for me
For me, for me tonight
Until you turn blue
Blue as a crashing wave
You're beautiful
But you're crashing just like me
Can we take this back tonight (x3)
Can we take this back? (woah)
(forget about me)
Tell me
Can you hold your breath for me
For me, for me tonight
Can you hold your breath for me
For me, for me tonight
Until you turn blue
Blue as a crashing wave
You're beautiful
But you're crashing just like me
(crashing just like)
(crashing just like)
Crashing just like me
