There’s a light in your eyes tonight, brighter than the moon,
Calling for the slightest touch, to bring together what can’t come too soon.
Inspired by my fondest dreams, I rush into your arms
And deny the fear that I may never be included into your warmth.
I’ve longed for all my days, to know the feeling I have found, here by your side.
And in some crazy way, I’m more myself when I’m around, here by your side.
I have stalked across the world in rage, armored by my pride
Defended by anxiety, too afraid to ever really find out why
Then you gently waltzed into, my over bandaged wounds
Proved to me what I’d been hiding from, was only just the shadow of the moon
Now I don’t know who I am, can’t imagine where I stand
Only know that who I want to be, is the man you want to see.
Now I finally have the chance to write, a life that can fill my lonely night
Take away the doubt and fear, and leave behind a man who’s strong and clear.
I’ve longed for all my days, to know the feeling I have found, here by your side.
And in some crazy way, I’m more myself when I’m around, here by your side.
There’s a light in your eyes tonight, brighter than the moon.
