[Chorus] Behind my eyes Behind my eyes The world gets smaller every time I turn around Behind my eyes Behind my eyes Something wild is wearing circles in the ground And sometimes Something beautiful Gets through A flash of light A patch of blue Then nothing Nothing [Verse 2] Sometimes it stops beside the window Like it almost knows the view Something flickers in the darkness Something neither of us knew [Pre-Chorus] Round and round It wears the floor Round and round What was the door? [Chorus] Behind my eyes Behind my eyes The world gets smaller every time I turn around Behind my eyes Behind my eyes Something wild is wearing circles in the ground And sometimes Something beautiful Gets through A flash of light A patch of blue Then nothing Nothing [Bridge] Last night It looked at me I looked at it We moved [Final Chorus] Behind my eyes Behind my eyes The world gets smaller every time I turn around Behind my eyes Behind my eyes Something wild is wearing circles underneath my skin And sometimes Something beautiful Gets through A flash of light A patch of blue My eyes go wide Then nothing
