In My Eyes
J. Lourenzo Lyrics

Here I go! Geronimo! Vertigo to free fall
I'm taking a leap of faith, but it's also scary.

The girl sets my heart racing, but my engine is stalled
She's amazing, but I can't seem to make a move.

Now I pace myself 'cause I gotta stay in front man
I need to play it cool so I don't mess things up.

Blast like an astronaut, crash like a stunt man
I'm taking big risks, but they may not pay off.

To worlds where witty boys get the pretty girls they merit
Smart and funny guys deserve attractive partners.

But she holds the saddle, the stick, the carrot
She has the power in this relationship.

So I rise like degrees in July or fall faster
Sometimes things go really well, other times they don't.

Luck is a lady, but I wouldn't put it past her
Fortune can be fickle, but I'm not taking any chances.

As she fills me with thrills like a roller coaster Or slams me with amps like a bath with a toaster
She can make me feel great or terrible, depending on the situation.

Now my knees are shaking and I find my spine is gone From holding up the pedestal that I've put her on
I've put her on a pedestal and it's causing me anxiety.

I should've studied science cause I tend to forget That for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction I guess I must've slept through that one, cause now I'm on thin ice with no traction
I'm realizing that my actions have consequences, but it may be too late to course-correct.

Is she thinking of you? No she just thought she knew me But she's looking at you! No she's looking through me And now I realize I've got no shape or size to the girl with the world in her eyes So I keep bouncing
She's not interested in me, and I feel insignificant compared to her.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Or concede to Morrissey that pretty girls make graves I've shed the serpents skin and lost my head like Ann Boleyn While rough winds do shake the darling buds of May
I'm trying to think of ways to describe her beauty, but it's difficult.

I ask you for this glance through vast expanse of thin veneers Steered by butterfly eyes while drinking drinks of siren's tears I fear the reaper cause it's hard like heavy metal When the beasts that you beat off are handsome devils
I'm entranced by her appearance, but there may be hidden dangers.

Yet, the consequence of compliments Is that I am graced with graces periodic like the elements Her imminence influences subatomics So I want to do her right Like Shakespeare does a sonnet I'm on it. Harrassed by bees in bonnets Slave to her affection like gramps to gin and tonics Loyal to my master like a pack of Pekinese While I try to hold my place with weakened knees
Her attention is a gift, and I want to treat her well. It's difficult to balance my own desires with submitting to her will.

Maybe I should call you up so we can spend some time together Take a walk or have some dinner, I don't care I'll do whatever My heart shivers every single time I get a busy signal Can I get an operator?
I want to spend time with her, but I'm nervous about reaching out.

So you know if she said bounce with me, I'd bounce with her Cause every minute that I'm in it counts with her There's only one sin I wouldn't renounce for her And if she gave me half a glance then I would counsel her That she should bounce with me, so I can bounce with her Cause every minute that I'm in it really counts with her There's only one sin I wouldn't renounce for her But do I have a chance!
If she wanted me to, I would drop everything to be with her. I'm willing to make sacrifices for her, but I also recognize that she may not feel the same way.

Yeah, she's got the world in her eyes
She's captivating and mysterious.
