“Lovers’ Eyes” by Potion Cafe

It's funny how much time seems to pass when we're away.
It’s like I've aged ten years, but it's only been day.
Then on some brighter morning, we're sitting on the beach.
The sun kisses the sand; the surf licks at our feet.

But when the snow starts to fall
I wake up on the floor,
My face pressed to the wall.

I've been lying here all along,
Making love to the cold,
Too afraid to go to bed all alone.
I guess that I'm just not that bold.

It's funny how much time seems to stop now that you're gone.
I will never age again, back to the board to be redrawn.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Then on some snowy day,
I'm looking at our queen-sized,
Trying to see a silhouette,
hoping just maybe you're still outlined.

I've been lying here all along
Making love to the cold
Too afraid to go to bed all alone
I guess I'm just not that bold.

(Change the sheets)
Tried to get you out of this room.
(Still feel your heat)
That lingering scent of perfume.
That lingering scent of perfume.

So till the judgment that yourself arise
you live in this, and dwell in lover’s eyes.

It's funny just how empty this house seems to be,
for some newly-weds. Couldn't tell you what I need.
I cleaned up all our pictures, your dresses and the bed,
Though you won't be coming back, I will never forget

the feel of your skin,
you're only six feet below me,
I'm crying, ’cause this is the farthest away
that you've ever been.

I've been lying here all along
Making love to the cold
Too afraid to go to bed all alone
I guess I'm just not that bold.

(Change the sheets)
Tried to get you out of this room.
(Still feel your heat)
That lingering scent of perfume.

Tried to get you out of this room.
That lingering scent of perfume.
