The Look (Acoustic) Lyrics

It's no surprise

I think I could fall asleep tonight

Holding you tight

In danger of a perfect moment of time

When you ask me "what's that look for?"

How do I explain that it's so much more?

It's all the things I don't have the courage to say

And not enough time for whatever I may

Pay attention to the iris-bound picture book

Read my eyes darling, a million words in the look

So let it linger

As I stare into your eyes

I'm caught in your story

In a web of your love-laced lines

Calm and content here

With your lovely permanent grin

You're even more perfect

When the question comes again

You ask me "what's that look for?"

How do I explain that it's so much more?

It's all the things I don't have the courage to say

And not enough time for whatever I may

Pay attention to the iris-bound picture book

Read my eyes darling, a million words in the look

I don't need faith to tell me when I should leap

Cause I'm floating farther than the bounds of my wildest dream

You've got the magic and I've got the hope, we won't run out of steam

I just need the question

You ask me "what's that look for?"

I'll explain that it's so much more

It's all the things I can't don't have the courage to say

And not enough time for whatever I may

Pay attention to the iris-bound picture book

Read my eyes darling, a million words in the look
