In Your Eyes
Genesis (Phil Collins & Peter Gabriel) Lyrics

Love I get so lost, sometimes
I can experience a feeling of being lost in life when I lack love, at times.

Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
As time goes by, if I'm not fulfilled with love, I feel increasingly empty.

When I want to run away, I drive off in my car
Sometimes I feel like escaping this emptiness, and so I take my car and drive away.

But whichever way I go, I come back to the place you are
Even though I drive away, I always eventually find myself drawn back to the person who makes me feel loved and complete.

All my instincts, they return
My natural desires and urges come back to me when I'm with the person I love.

And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Any façade or pretense that I may have built up in my life will quickly crumble when I'm with my true love.

Without a noise, without my pride, I reach out from the inside
I express myself to my love with genuine emotion, without worrying about appearances or pride getting in the way.

In your eyes, the light, the heat
I see a brightness and warmth in your eyes that represents your love for me.

In your eyes, I am complete
When I gaze into your eyes, I feel whole and fulfilled.

In your eyes, I see the doorway to a thousand churches
I see your love as being all-encompassing, like it could lead me to a spiritual awakening or a greater understanding of the world.

In your eyes, the resolution of all the fruitless searches
I find the answers to all of life's uncertainties when I contemplate the love I see in your eyes.

In your eyes, I see the light and the heat
I perceive a bright light and intense heat in your eyes when you look at me because of the passion and love you feel for me.

Oh, I want to be that complete. I want to touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes
I strive to feel as whole and fulfilled as I do when I look into your eyes and feel the love and passion radiating from them.

Love, I don't like to see so much pain
I don't want to witness the suffering and hurt that so many people experience in life.

So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I feel disheartened and frustrated by the amount of time and opportunities that are wasted in life.

I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I feel drained and exhausted from constantly struggling to maintain our lives and survive in the world.

I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
The time I spend with you is what gives me the energy and inspiration to keep going, to keep living a fulfilling life.

In your eyes, the light, the heat
As I gaze into your eyes, I continue to see that same light and heat that signifies your love for me.

In your eyes, I am complete
Just by looking into your eyes, I again feel whole and fulfilled.

In your eyes, I see the doorway to a thousand churches
Your love leads me to new ideas and contemplations, and I feel that it could lead me to multiple sources of understanding and spirituality.

In your eyes, the resolution of all the fruitless searches
Your love offers me a sense of peace and answers to all of life's problems that I have been searching for in vain until now.

In your eyes, I see the light and the heat
Your eyes shine with a brilliance and intensity, representing the passion and love you feel for me.

Oh, I want to be that complete. I want to touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes
I long to feel the same love and sense of fulfillment that you inspire in me, and to bask in the warmth of your passion and unwavering adoration.

In your eyes, in your eyes
All of the love and emotion that I have been contemplating is encapsulated in your eyes.

In your eyes, in your eyes
It is in those same eyes that I find the ultimate source of my life's happiness and fulfillment.

In your eyes, in your eyes
Other people or things may come and go, but the love and emotion emanating from your eyes will always be there for me.
