my eyes would beat yours in a race

i can not stare you in the eyes, my eyes will slowly wander away
your eyes are beautiful, but they will not stray
my eyes would rather be climbing towards the sky, awaiting blindness
if only you would let your eyes digress
we would be in the safe

please don't be so firm, you make me uneasy and weak
my mind races to find the right words and stutter when i speak
i am so used to floating off alone, not having any plans
but you have pulled me ashore and i am awaiting what's in your head
your eyes are as pure as your heart and clean as your hands
and they do what i can never do, they constantly look ahead

i wish you could look up towards the sun so i can look down
close your eyes so i can slowly take a look around
maybe then i can grow the courage to stare you straight in the eyes
before my eyes reach their destination at the angel in disguise
