Lyrics Martha Wainwright

Martha Wainwright

Wandering Eyes

Would you care not standing so close

I've got a promise that I gotta keep

And I can't host

The idea of you & me engaged in a kiss

It's too dangerous & would be a mess

Cause I can't, you see

Someone's in love with me

And I with he

So very deeply

But when things get so goddamn deep

One has the tendency to feel somewhat weak

And grasp for air & want to be free

Of the clenches of love which have a taste that is bittersweet

Cause I can't, you see

Someone's in love with me

And I with he

So very deeply

Wandering eyes can bring so much fault

Especially when they wander too far from their home

And meeting other wandering eyes

When all those are only just a fight

So would you care standing away from me

I don't want to be set free

I have realized now that everything is a compromise

And the grass is no greener on the other side

Cause I can't, you see

Someone's in love with me

And I with he

So very deeply

If there were an elixir

I'd find the mixture

And I'd make myself a pitcher

And I with he
