I Was Watching Your Eyes — Of Montreal

I want to write something beautiful, Something so beautiful That I just can't sing it without getting that incredible feeling, The one that just overwhelms my senses. Because it's the only thing I have, It's the only thing that makes my life worthwhile.

I know there aren't too many people Who allow themselves to say what they feel, So I was watching your eyes, In case they just might say something.

I want to think someone's beautiful, That they're so beautiful it's a thrill to be near them. Fill my stomach with butterflies, have me floating on air, Bring something out of me I didn't know was there. But it's such a torturous thing That I am not excited by anyone.

I know there aren't too many people Who allow themselves to say what they feel, So I was watching your eyes, In case they just might say something.
