Rufus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why can't it just be you that chases me
Look through my eyes
Can you see me
Searchin' with nothin' in sight
Touch with my hands can't you feel me
Reachin' for you in the night
Can't say I haven't tried bet your life
Change all my bitter to sweet love
Change all my darkness to light
Surrender the love you're concealing
My love will make it alright
Look through my eyes
Can't you see me
Touch with my hands

Baby I'm in love and I just can't stay
Besides my love won't compromise or be denied
Look through my eyes

Touch with my hands can't you feel me
Reachin' for you in the night

Change all my darkness to light
Surrender the love you're concealing
