Peace
Oliver and Company Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Watched you leave, held my tongue
And made my peace, now we're miles apart
City lights, drunken stupid nights
The jealousy is taking over me, over me
Cause I still think of you, everywhere I go
And to tell the truth, I'm falling for
Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
I walked you home, you're showing off your new spot
Evening clothes, couldn't keep us apart
In a crowded room, you know all I see is you
Making eyes you're taking over me
Cause I still think of you, everywhere I go
And to tell the truth, I'm falling for
Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
Cause I still think of you, everywhere I go




And to tell the truth, I'm falling for
Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes

Watched you leave, held my tongue
I silently observed as you walked away without expressing my true feelings


And made my peace, now we're miles apart
I found inner calm and acceptance with the fact that we are now separated by distance


City lights, drunken stupid nights
The bright lights of the city and reckless nights of intoxication


The jealousy is taking over me, over me
Feelings of envy and possessiveness are overpowering my emotions


Cause I still think of you, everywhere I go
You constantly occupy my thoughts no matter where I am


And to tell the truth, I'm falling for
To be honest, I am deeply and uncontrollably developing strong feelings for


Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
The captivating beauty of your eyes


I walked you home, you're showing off your new spot
I accompanied you to your place while you proudly displayed your new living arrangement


Evening clothes, couldn't keep us apart
Even our formal attire couldn't prevent our connection and closeness


In a crowded room, you know all I see is you
Despite being surrounded by a crowd, you are the only one I notice and focus on


Making eyes you're taking over me
Engaging in flirtatious glances, you have a powerful influence over me


Cause I still think of you, everywhere I go
Because you still occupy my thoughts regardless of my location


And to tell the truth, I'm falling for
To be honest, I am deeply and uncontrollably developing strong feelings for


Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
The captivating beauty of your eyes
