Borrow Your Eyes
[Intro: rain texture, detuned piano] [Verse 1: intimate, breathy baritone] You came into the room like thunder I mistook your fear for rage Started writing out your character Before I'd read a single page Then you told me about your morning And the nights that came before Suddenly the stranger standing here Wasn't strange anymore [Pre-Chorus: ascending falsetto] I don't have to feel your pain To understand it's real [Chorus: soaring layered melody] Let me borrow your eyes For a moment of your life See the shadows on the walls That you have learned to live behind I may never walk your road But I can meet you where you are And the distance gets much smaller When I listen with my heart [Break: melodic fretless bass, granular drums] [Verse 2: flowing melodic phrasing] You don't have to be an angel I don't have to think you're right I can see the human being In the middle of the fight [Bridge: drums fade, fragile duet] (You don't know me) Then let me learn (You can't fix me) That's not my turn [Final Chorus: warm harmonic lift] Let me borrow your eyes And lend you mine in return We may never see alike But there's so much we can learn [Outro: piano and bass dissolve]
