Restless EyesWe have a big house, with lots of gardensAnd children playing in the school next door These aren't the best times These aren't the worst times But these are my times I never asked for more There's always sunshine, and shiny weather I like it just fine - he likes it better And I don't know the name Of the people right next door But I can't complain He could have had so much more And he isn't you, and I'll never be The one that he left behind Each time we look in the mirror, I see Those restless eyes when he finds That I'm not the one he wanted And he's not who I dreamed Oh, those restless eyes And restless me And when the warm winds that surround me Come raining down me on cold summer nights He never asks me to surrender And I remember that when I want to leave And if my heart beats a touch too fast And if my eyes blink, he doesn't ask He lets us both pretend It's the wind up from the shore And I love him for it then Like I never did before And he isn't you, and I'll never be The one that he left behind Each time we look in the mirror, I see Those restless eyes when he finds That I'm not the one he wanted And he's not who I dreamed Oh, those restless eyes And restless me |
