lyrics

Looking in your eyes
I realize
I’ve never seen
All that’s in-between
Just remains unseen
Surprise me
I can’t read your mind
Why do I try
The curiosity’s find
I wonder my why
Though I’m always resigned
To wander my eyes

(Chorus)
We are watching each other
Running out of time
When we don’t love another
It’s a steep decline
We’ve got to be kind
In these impossible times
We’re watching the world go by

Such simple things
That you can bring
Just empathy
It’s the remedy
It’s especially
Surprising
Going out of our minds
Why do we try
Days I’d rather be blind
I would get by
But I’m always inclined
To wander my eyes

(Chorus)
We are watching each other
Running out of time
When we don’t love another
It’s a steep decline
We’ve got to be kind
In these impossible times
We’re watching the world go by

The moment never arrives
We fumble throughout our lives
We’re grasping at what we find
Until we just never mind
And all of the cares we had
Are gone in a world that’s mad
We’re desperately out of time
Desperately out of time

(Chorus)
We are watching each other
Running out of time
When we don’t love another
It’s a steep decline
We’ve got to be kind
In these impossible times
We’re watching the world go by
