If I Had Eyes Lyrics

Jack Johnson

If I had eyes in the back of my head I would have told you that you looked good as I walked away
And if you could've tried to trust the hand that fed You would've never been hungry but you'd never really be
More of this or less of this or is there any difference? Or are we just holding onto things that we don't have anymore?
Sometimes time doesn't heal, no not at all Just stand still while we fall In or out of love again, I doubt I'm gonna win you back When you've got eyes like that It won't let me in, always looking out
Lot of people spend their time just floating We were victims together but lonely You've got hungry eyes, they just can't look forward Can't give them enough but we just can't start over
Building with bent nails we're falling but holding I don't wanna take up anymore of your time, time, time, time
Sometimes time doesn't heal, no not at all Just stand still while we fall In or out of love again, I doubt I'm gonna win you back When you've got eyes like that It won't let me in, always looking out
Always looking Always looking out Always looking out Always looking out

Tell Us What These Lyrics Mean To You...

bromo911

The author has to walk away from his love because she has a divided heart and won't let him into the deep tender parts of her heart. Because she is holding on to memories of a previous love and the possibilities of a future with another. The author and the woman with eyes like that were both left by other lovers at one point. The author is commited to her but sees, in her eyes, that his love is simply not reciprocated.

They were once in love but their love was torn down by her divided heart. Now it is impossible to build again that same love (bent nails).
