I've got eyes, good eyes to see all the brilliant colors
that you make
And I've got a smile, a smile to share with you down all the paths that
we both could take
And I'm not asking for your perfection I know that can't be true
I just want me to fit perfectly with you

Though some say, lovings like dying but kind, you gotta give your life away,
give your very breath away
Say it's more like passing time, that you were to pass alone,
but now you've got somebody to hold, you got someone to hold

Well I've got a friend and he's got widened eyes and reservations
about diving in
He says the best of his life could be much too long to let it end now
as love begins
Whether he's still a boy or just a man with different dreams
out of the corner of my eye I see a girl who mouths, 'we'll see'

But he says lovings like dying but kind you gotta give your life away,
you give your very breath away
You see it's more like seek and hide some just want to sit you down
and some are desperate to find, they just want to find

Well we've got valid questions we've got fears and worries, plans,
but honey we've got time
We hear echoes of our youth, we hear voices of our childhood a rattling inside
Well nobody can force you to go, but I'm betting someday you'll choose
to go

Though they say loving is like dying but kind, you gotta give your life away,
you give your very breath away
They say it's more like coming to find a heart to join your own in beating a new different rhythm out
but they could still beat alone

But I've got eyes, good eyes to see all the brilliant colors
that you make
