Eye For An Eye Lyrics by James Ivy
Writing me off
And I can’t read you mind if I should go
I’ll go, I’ll go, I’ll go, I’ll go
But you’re runnin’ me off that road
And I can’t tell you once or twice
But I won’t stick around for you to know
By day, I always see the gray
Why, what? Don’t you get the hint?
We’re keepin’ it all so close
And I won’t tell anyone you know
You’re runnin’ away so fast
And I can’t seem to catch up to you
No matter how much I make myself move
Long days turnin’ into nights
I wait, don’t you let it up
Let it up
Let it in, let it in
And oh, don’t you know?
I’m thinkin’ it over and over (Over and over)
The night moves slowly now
Since I let you down
When I first saw you
An eye for an eye for an eye
I saw you, when I
When you know who you are from a young age
When you tell yourself so many times
It hurts when you get older
Bendin’ backwards, playin’ the fool
Ready or not, there’s a new town comin’
I wanna tell you somethin’ that you should have known
Long before all the time
And that’s all I’ll take on you
You carry more than you can bear
I stare at ceilings, present
Dust that collects on them
I wanna turn it around for the last time
And I wanna spin you in a circle
I wanna meet for the first time over and over again
Oh yeah, tonight is the night I get choked up a little
If I could only forget, no matter if I get out or I stay in
There’ll always be somethin’ about it
I wanna kiss you over and over
And I wanna go where you are when you’re not here
With your chemical intoxication
There, always there, always there, there
Breathe for a little bit, then I’m shooting acid
By the time you finally get it through your head
I won’t be near you
Just step right into the shadow
Only one way out of conversation
I’ll turn back all my watches
And I can keep the time for you
If that’s what you like
Who you are
Who you are
Who you are
Who you are
