Fall Inside Your Eyes

As I look across the room at you
Our eyes are joined for just a breath or two
I never finish what I mean to do
I start to trail off when I'm halfway through
Can I fall inside your eyes?
And I'm drowning in your love
But I can't bring to my mind
What it was that I was thinking of

I can feel the sigh with my back to you
As though the sigh was mine and I'm attached to you
It's deep inside your eyes that I'm attracted to
Like a moth drawn to a light I can't stop my headlong flight
Can I fall inside your eyes?
And I'm drowning in your love
I can't bring to my mind
What it was that I was thinking of

Sounds inside the room seem to fade away
But I don't think I was listening anyway
I can't explain why I feel this way
Just one look from you and there's nothing I can do
Can I fall inside your eyes?
And I'm drowning in your love
I can't bring to mind
Just what it was that I was thinking of
