Verdant Green Eyes

you show up with those classic eyes
staring through my soul
i get lost their verdant green and your sweet smile
the angel on my should tells me i should know better
but the devil on my left will soon silence him down
 
and what is this effect you have on me
i can't even escape you in my dreams
those green eyes starting a hole straight through my heart
i should know, should have known better, but i'm not thinking anyway
 
how do you seem to take control of the room
you can turn off the world so there's only you
and no one else that we'd rather desire
lighting fires in hearts as you pass
that walk, that smile, that way you move
everything is so perfect and alluring
i can't help that when i hear you speak
that i hope you'll say those words
that will make my soul feel closer to whole
 
so baby you must tell me
why is that i can only see
you and no other in my life
i just want to love you, kiss you, fill your heart with joy
i can't quite explain it all, it's such a power pull
my heart beats a million miles a second just to be at your door
 
oh won't you let in
come on and let me be the one at your door
to your heart, to your soul
i just want to get lost in the verdant green of your eyes
i just want to live off every word and emotion unsaid
i just want to be the one you always call home
 
so if you can see what i can see in your eyes in mine
if you feel my heart beats true
if you want me the way i want you
if you can love me beyond these mortal trials and limitations
tell me those words i've long to hear
with a look from those verdant green eyes
