A song about a crush I had on a blue-eyed girl who always seemed to end up with the “bad boy,” and never the guy who would have treated her right.
(verse)
They see the magic of a sunset, and the glory of a sky
They see the wisdom of the aged, and the tragedy of life
They see the innocence of laughter, and the cruelty of greed
But I don’t know why your blue eyes don’t see me
They see the metaphor in flowers, and how they pertain to love
They see the stillness of the ocean even when the waves rise up
They see the meaning of all nature, life was once not but a seed
But I don’t know why your blue eyes don’t see me
(Chorus)
They notice everything around you, and always have
‘Cept the fact I’ve always wanted you so bad
You always pick another lover who can’t give you what you need
But I don’t know why your blue eyes don’t see me
(verse)
They see the humility and hubris in everyone around
They see the commotion of all silence born of a lack of sound
They see the falling of a forest hurts far more than the trees
But I don’t know why your blue eyes don’t see me
(Chorus)
They see the forgiveness in the angry, and the hope in all the poor
They see the kindness in cessation, and how the sand became the shore
They see an infinity of chances and why the winter brings the spring
But I don’t know why your blue eyes don’t see me
(Chorus)
