The Only Eyes

The Only Eyes

If there were a better way
to learn what I've learned
so nobody had to pay and no one got hurt
if there were an easier road
that wasn't so crooked
Honey, I hope you know
I would have took it

but these are the only eyes that I have for looking at you
and they've seen some lonely nights with liars and lovers and fools
but I kept them open, just hoping for someone to make them less blue
and these are the eyes that followed the telephone wires
to come home to you

Now I want you to love me
but I wanna say when
and I wanna say how much
I wanna know how it ends
Cause I've grown so tired of watching the door
and all of these lines they serve to remind
I've been here before

Now these are the only eyes that I have for looking at you
and they may be lonely tonight but they're catching the light and they're telling the truth
and I kept them open just hoping for someone to make them less blue
these are the eyes that followed the telephone wires
to come home to you
