Right Between the Eyes
Same Difference Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been around from the very start of time
Everyday another person wonders why
There are times when moving forward
Leads back to where we started from

We try to look for the finer things in life
A quick fix for a temporary high
But the hardest thing is making it last
When all is said and done

So take your time and sail above
Enjoy the ride
Cuz just like love when you're not searching
It'll hit ya right between the eyes

There'll be times
When we're living through it all
You're on top and then suddenly you fall
But maybe happiness will come to us when
We've lived on different ends

So ease your mind
And let it come when the time is right

Just like love

When you're not searching it'll hit you
Right between the eyes
We've all had moments
We feel like the circle won't end
But each time round
Is a chance to begin again

Cuz when you finally learn
The way to just let go
That's all you need to know

Been around from the very start of time
(just don't give up the hope)
Slow down keep enjoying the ride
(and you are not alone)
Just take your time
(slow down)
Sail above, enjoy the ride
Just like love when you're not searching it'll hit ya
And you'll realize it's already there




Right between the eyes
Right between the eyes
