Eyes on You - Single
About
Continuing the narrative set by his first ever single “If Only You Knew”, Eyes on You dives deeper into the struggle you have with yourself when you hit it off with someone really well that you want to pursue a relationship with them. You worry that they won’t see you the same way, and that professing your love would ruin your friendship. However, what you don’t realize is that the other person is going through the exact same struggle. Until you build the courage to ask, you obsess internally over how things would be if they knew.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Never showed love when you were around
But you got me high above the ground
Tried to not let this get in the way
Even though I wanted you to stay
Years gone by without a word
Would this change what we are from what we were
I know what I want deep down inside
Yet all I do is run and hide, but
[Chorus 1]
Once I laid eyes on you
Oh I knew
I wouldn’t be the same without you
If I could just show how I feel
If only you knew
What I’m going through
If only you knew
That I love you
[Verse 2]
It’s harder each day to be with you
And I don’t know what to really do
Can we let our minds just run away
To a place where I can finally say, yeah
[Chorus 2]
Once I laid eyes on you
Oh I knew
I wouldn’t be the same without you
If I could just show how I feel
If only you knew
What I’m going through
If only you knew
That I love you
[Bridge]
I tried to get over you
But I only loved you more
There’s no turning back from now
‘Cause you’re the one I’m looking for
[Chorus 3]
Once I laid eyes on you
Oh I knew, hmm…
Oh
[Chorus 4]
Once I laid eyes on you (eyes on you)
Oh I knew
I wouldn’t be the same without you
If I could just show how I feel (how I feel)
If only you knew
What I’m going through
If only you knew
That I love you
Hmm…
