(I've Got) Eyes For Dreamy

from Dead Animals by Brooks Strause

/

lyrics

I've seen love and I've seen it for what it is. I've seen hearts break and I've seen cold-hearted bliss. I've seen faces that I'd known I'd seen before, but when they're closed I've got eyes for Dreamy. I've seen hands taking the places my hands go, I've seen gorgeous brains that already knew everything I know. I've seen little shards of beauty scattered on the floor, but when they're closed I've got eyes for Dreamy. She makes me want to make her want me. She shows me the things I'd rather see. No one else is quite like Dreamy. I can almost remember her face. I've seen things that I'm not sure were meant for mine. I've seen better things that I'd prefer to leave behind. I've seen real-life tears fogging up my sight, but when they're closed I've got eyes for Dreamy. I've seen all my peers veer off the path. I've seen a lot of sad things that made me laugh. I've seen something that I swear to god damn must have been the light, but when they're closed I've got eyes for Dreamy. I've seen passion and I've seen it die. I've seen many happy girls start to cry. I've seen lips that said that they love me and I didn't know it was a lie, but when they're closed I've got eyes for Dreamy.
