Dark Eyes
Danielle Parente Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She sleeps through the daylight, comes out with the moonlight
She'll run off with your heart, like some kind of thief
In the night, some kind of thief in the night
She'll take all of your high times, wash them out with the low tide
Rock all your sunlight, cloud up your skyline
She'll run off with your heart, like some kind of thief
In the night
But you don't see her coming 'til it's little too late
'Cause she's hot up in an oven, don't even know how to bake
Storm's already rolling, take cover, try to wait
But the rain's already drumming down hard on your face
You ask yourself reasons why you can't let her go
You can't say goodbye, you just torture yourself
There's so many reasons why you can't let her go
She makes you feel alive, makes you like no one else
She makes you want get lost in her dark eyes
Get lost in her dark eyes
Get lost in her dark eyes
Until the end of time
She makes you want get lost in her dark eyes
Get lost in her dark eyes
Get lost in her dark eyes
Until the end of time
She fills you with emotion as deep as the ocean
On the brink of disaster, she left you running after
Always wanting more, she left you always wanting more
She snuck out of the back door, like many times before
Got lost out on the highways, on passages, and byways
She left you wanting more, she left you always wanting more
But you don't see her coming 'til it's little too late
'Cause she's hot up in an oven, don't even know how to bake
Storm's already rolling, take cover, try to wait
But the rain's already drumming down hard on your face
You ask yourself reasons why you can't let her go
You can't say goodbye, you just torture yourself
There's so many reasons why you can't let her go
She makes you feel alive, makes you like no one else
She makes you want get lost in her dark eyes
Get lost in her dark eyes
Get lost in her dark eyes
Until the end of time
She makes you want get lost in her dark eyes
Get lost in her dark eyes




Get lost in her dark eyes
Until the end of time
