Only Look at Me

City spins, but don’t you blink,
I’m the drink you didn’t think you’d need.
Crowded rooms and restless feet,
All these faces you don’t need to meet.
Talk's too loud, the clock’s too slow,
But my eyes say everything you should know.
Only look at me, don’t fade away,
Hold my gaze when the night turns gray.
Only look at me, like I’m the sky,
In a city built to pass you by.
Silver heels on a broken street,
Neon smiles that can't compete.
One step closer, one breath deep,
Keep your promises you swore to keep.
Only look at me, forget the crowd,
Sing my name without a sound.
Only look at me, like a prayer you keep,
Even when the whole world falls asleep.
Only look at me, forget the crowd,
Sing my name without a sound.
Only look at me, like a prayer you keep,
Even when the whole world falls asleep.
No reruns, no second takes,
No half-lit hearts, no easy breaks.
Just one slow, unbroken stare,
Say you’re already there.
Only look at me, nothing behind,
Erase the past, press rewind.
Only look at me, say it’s true,
In this whole wide city—
It’s just me.
only you.  only you...
at me.
