Eye to Eye
Moonrise Nation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got myself a notion
And one I know that you'll understand
To set the world in motion by reaching out for each other's hand
Maybe we'll discover
What we shoulda known all along
One way or another, together's where we both belong
If we listen to each other's heart
We'll find we're never too far apart
And maybe love is a reason why
For the first time ever, we're seein' it eye to eye
If a wall should come between us
Too high to climb, too hard to break through
I know that love'll lead us
And find a way to bring me to you
So don't be in a hurry
Think before you count us out
You don't have to worry
I won't ever let you drown
(Nothing's gonna stop us now)
If we listen to each other's heart
We'll find we're never too far apart
And maybe love is a reason why
For the first time ever, we're seein' it eye to eye
Love is why we're seein' it eye to eye
(Yes, we are seein' it eye to eye)
Seein' it eye to
(Love is why we're seein' it)
I think we're seein' it eye to eye
(eye to eye)
eye to
We're seein' it eye to eye
(eye to eye!)
If you're ever lonely, then stop!
You don't have to be
After all, it's only a beat away from you to me
(Take a look inside and see)
If we listen to each other's heart
We'll find we're never too far apart
And maybe love is a reason why
For the first time ever, we're seein' it eye to eye
Seein' it eye to
Seein' it eye to eye
We're seein' it eye to eye, baby
For the first time
For the first time
eye to eye
Seein't it
Seein' it, baby
Seein' it eye to
For the first time ever
Hey yeah
Seein' it, baby
We're seein' it eye to eye
Seein' it
(C'mon, baby)
eye to eye
eye to eye
eye to eye
eye to eye




Yeah
eye to eye!
