The Magnetic Fields - Don't Look Away lyrics

Don't look away

I don't think I could stand it

So don't look away

'cause my heart couldn't handle it

There's a fire in your eyes

And it's melting the ice

In my heart

So don't blink an eye

They're so beautiful open

Just let them cry

Or the spell will be broken

The moments in your gaze

Have been turning to days

In my heart

We've never met

And yet

We're in love

Never forget

One look is enough

Just as long as you

Don't look away

We can never be lovers

There's one chance to take

There won't be any others

I'll be spending my life

With your eyes like a knife

In my heart
