EYES
Peter Bjorn and John/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just wanna make you the only one.
I don't wanna ask myself forever
Why I didn't put myself together?
As soon as you appeared into my eyes
I don't wanna lose this (Don't wanna wait)
Wrap it like it mattered (Look what you did)
Being just one step from being well
I don't have any vocabulary
But I hear myself please go away
Acting like six or seven
But I'm really close to heaven
I don't need to look further than your eyes
I don't wanna lose this (Don't wanna wait)
Quicker than a kiss (Not a second too late)
Wrap it like it mattered (Look what you did)
Being just one step from being well
In the song "Eyes," Peter Bjorn and John express their desire to make someone the only person they are interested in.

I just wanna make you the only one," convey the artist's intention to capture the attention and affection of the listener, debunking any superficial motives. The singer acknowledges the need to put themselves together and not question why they didn't do so earlier, now that this special someone has entered their life and become visible "into my eyes."
The chorus highlights the fear of losing this newfound connection, as they want to hold onto it tighter than a kiss and treat it with utmost importance. The lines "I don't have any vocabulary, but I hear myself please go away" suggest a level of vulnerability and insecurity. The singer may feel inadequate in expressing their emotions, fearing that they may push the other person away.

Lyrics:
Do you realize that you have the most beautiful face
Do you realize we're floating in space,
Do you realize that happiness makes you cry
Do you realize that everyone you know someday will die
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes, let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
Do you realize, oh, oh, oh?
Do you realize that everyone you know
Someday will die?
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes, let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
Do you realize that you have the most beautiful face
Do you realize?

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize - we're floating in space -
Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry
Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
Do You Realize - Oh - Oh - Oh
Do You Realize - that everyone you know
Someday will die -
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize

Played this at my daughter's funeral. We always would sing this together and we would both be sobbing. She was afraid of losing me and i was so scared she was going to leave me. She left. Died from fentynal laced heroin. She always thought she was never good enough. She had a heart of gold. Miss her. This is our song.
