Cloud Eyes
Jerry Joseph Lyrics

Fan is blowing hurricanes around the room
The room is filled with hot air and the fan is only causing more wind and chaos.

The heat and dust and rivers of your scent
The intense heat and dust in the room are mixed with the lingering smell of the person he loves.

The morning sun is clocking in a-hundred and two
The sun is already blazing hot, even though it's only morning.

The spinning blades can barely make a dent
Even the fan blades spinning at full speed can't seem to cool him off or calm the chaos in the room.

But hard to see the coolness in your emerald eyes from here
Despite the chaos and heat, he still can't help but admire the beauty of the person he loves.

So I lay hot and listless 'til you choose to reappear
He's so overcome by the heat and chaos that he's unable to move or do anything until the person he loves comes back.

I should try to focus on a clear blue sky
He knows he should try to clear his mind and focus on something calming, like a blue sky.

But my vision ends up getting pretty torn
However, even when he tries to focus on something calming, he still can't shake off the chaos in his mind.

And I'm reeling in the chills and I don't know why
He's feeling cold and shivery even though it's incredibly hot, and he doesn't understand why.

My head is full of thunder from the storm
His mind is filled with so much chaos that it feels like a thunderstorm is raging inside his head.

But hard to see your beauty with cloud eyes anyway
Even when he's feeling lost and overwhelmed, he still knows that the person he loves is beautiful, even if he can't see it clearly.

Well come back to me baby, you can blow the clouds away
He knows that the person he loves can help calm the storm in his head and clear up his clouded vision.

Hold onto me baby, hell you might get burned
He warns the person he loves that getting close to him might be dangerous, but he still wants them to stay.

You will never know unless you try
He believes that taking risks is worth it, even if it means getting hurt.

Or pleasantly surprised by what you've learned
He believes that taking risks can also lead to positive outcomes and pleasurable experiences.

Well honesty ain't all that it's cracked up to be
He recognizes that honesty isn't always easy or straightforward.

Lots of things that I don't want to know
He doesn't always want to know the truth about things.

Clarity of conscious really frightens me
He's afraid of having a clear conscience and knowing what's right and wrong.

I don't think I really want to grow
He's not sure if he's ready to grow and develop as a person.

But when I'm looking deeply in your emerald eyes there's light
Despite his fears and doubts, he finds hope and light when he looks into the eyes of the person he loves.

Well come back to me baby, I might get some sleep tonight
He knows that he'll sleep better if the person he loves is with him.

That's what everybody says
He's heard warnings about the dangers of love from others.

But love just isn't love without some clouds and dirt
He believes that love is messy and complicated, and that's part of what makes it real.

And I think we can make it anyway
He's optimistic that he and the person he loves can make their relationship work, even with all its complications.

Together we can still see a beautiful world
He believes that he and the person he loves can find beauty even in the midst of chaos and confusion.

With cloud eyes
He sees the world through a lens of chaos, but knows that with the person he loves by his side, they can still find beauty in it all.
