Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The love you hide away.
You can't disguise
The things you feel, the thing you say
If you just call my name
Any time at all, I'll be there.
The way you're falling away from me.
I can't describe
It's how it feels, it's what I see.
If you just call my name
Anytime at all,
Anytime at all,
Anytime at all, I'll be there.
I look around, all I see is you
But you gotta tell me that you want me too.
Look at me, you're all that I need, it's true.
I'm here, just call my name
Anytime at all, I'll be there.
I look around, all I see is you
But you gotta tell me that you want me too.
Look at me, you're all that I need, it's true.
I can't disguise
The love I wait for you to share
I can't deny
If you reach out and touch my hand it's there.
Or just call my name,
Anytime at all,
Anytime at all,
Anytime at all, I'll be there
In "It's In Your Eyes," Phil Collins portrays the difficulties of unrequited love. The lyrics reveal that the singer is in love with someone who is unable to show their true feelings, but it's obvious to him through the nonverbal cues that they exhibit. The singer tells the subject that they need to admit their true feelings about him or her to make their relationship progress, but no progress can be made until the truth is revealed. The lyrics suggest that there is a significant amount of frustration on the singer's part for his love interest's inability to express their true feelings, but also a willingness to be patient and wait for them to come around. The chorus' promise to be there anytime indicates that the singer is willing to be there for the individual.
The song's theme primarily focuses on the communication gap between two people in a romantic relationship. The singer emphasizes the importance of expressing one's true feelings to the person they're in love with. He looks upon his love interest and can see that they're in love with him but struggles to express it, which leads to the differing interpretation of what's actually happening in the relationship.
