Eye to Eye
Rosie Gaines; Tevin Campbell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 should have known all along
One way or another together's where we both belong
If we listen to each other's heart
And maybe love is the reason why
For the first time ever we're seeing it eye to eye
If a wall should come between us
To high to climb, to hard to break through
I know that love will 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 down
If we listen to each other's heart
We'll find we're never too far apart
And maybe love is the reason why
For the first time ever we're seeing it eye to eye
If you're ever lonely, stop. You don't have to be
After all is stolen, I'll beat a way from you to me
TAKE A LOOK INSIDE AND SEE (YEAH)
If we listen to each other's heart
We'll find we're never too far apart
And maybe love is the reason why
For the first time ever we're seeing it eye to eye

I got myself a notion
I came up with an idea
One I know that you'll understand
I know you will comprehend my idea
To set the world in motion
To initiate a movement that will influence the world
By reaching out for each other's hand
By cooperating with each other
Maybe we'll discover what we should have known all along
Perhaps we will find what we have missed for so long
One way or another together's where we both belong
In any way, we need to be together
If we listen to each other's heart
If we pay attention to each other's feelings
We'll find we're never too far apart
We will realize that we are not distant from each other
And maybe love is the reason why
And perhaps, love is the explanation for it all
For the first time ever we're seeing it eye to eye
For the initial time, we understand and agree with each other
If a wall should come between us
If something keeps us apart
To high to climb, to hard to break through
It seems almost impossible to overcome
I know that love will lead us
I believe that love will guide us
And find a way to bring me to you
And help us reunite
So don't be in a hurry. Think before you count us out.
Please don't rush or give up on us too soon. Take your time to decide.
You don't have to worry, I won't ever let you down
You don't have to be anxious, I will never disappoint you
If you're ever lonely, stop. You don't have to be
If you feel lonely, take a break because you don't need to be
After all is stolen, I'll beat a way from you to me
Even if everything is gone, I will find a way to come to you
TAKE A LOOK INSIDE AND SEE (YEAH)
Look deep into yourself and understand the truth.
If we listen to each other's heart
If we pay attention to each other's feelings
We'll find we're never too far apart
We will realize that we are not distant from each other
And maybe love is the reason why
And perhaps, love is the explanation for it all
For the first time ever we're seeing it eye to eye
For the initial time, we understand and agree with each other

I saw the Goofy Movie when it first came out and this song and its message has always stood out to me... It's 2023 now and with the differences between people need positivity like this more than ever.
@boombap08
Right with ya
@takeitforgranted909
Breaks my heart so many people don’t realize Tevin Campbell IS Powerline. He still tours, btw!
@jasonsterlingentertainment478

@poprox69
+Jason Sterling I swear A Goofy Movie is the most underrated Disney movie, period.
@neutraltoxic

@neutraltoxic
i mean come on, a disney movie about getting teenage poon tang by tricking your dad into taking you cross country to sneak backstage at a pop concert so you can get on camera. even typing this out felt ridiculous but this is a totally accurate description
@Eli-fz1jt
Yeah completely
@nerdwizard
Indeed.
@dorkmax7073
Powerline is the artist that didn't exist, but you could easily convince people they remember him from sometime in the 90s
