Ice Blue Eyes (Storytelling Session)

Title: Ice Blue Eyes Pre-Chorus (smooth, building, slightly breathy/sultry) Every night I replay it, that spark in the crowd How your ice blue eyes pinned me down, never made a sound I kept my distance like a saint, but the hunger stayed loud Now the good girl’s cracking… and I’m ready to burn it all down (Intro) Under these quiet stars, where the years fall like rain I still see that moment, frozen in time again One glance across the room, and the world disappeared Now here I stand, heart open wide… after all these years (Ice blue eyes… pulling me near) (Verse 1) So many years slipped through the cracks since that first glance I’ve been carrying your shadow in every quiet chance You walk in a room and the lights bend just for you Suddenly I’m seventeen again, heart racing, looking in your eyes, ice blue (Pre-Chorus-rap sultry spoken word) I did the right thing once—God, I was so good But I’m tired of behaving like a good girl should (Chorus) I never stopped missing your smile, that laugh like summer rain Ice blue eyes still cut right through every wall I made I want to wake up tangled in your arms every dawn Feel your love down to my marrow, stay there till we’re gone What I wouldn’t give to turn back the hands of time ’Cause the day we met I already knew you should be mine (Verse 2) I’ve spent years wondering how our life would’ve been if I’d held your hand tighter beneath that September wind. I prayed in parking lots, whispered your name to the stars Hoped you’d somehow hear me from wherever you are (Pre-Chorus) I was brave for a moment, then I folded like a page Now this coward’s finally stepping out of her cage (Chorus) I never stopped missing your smile, that laugh like summer rain Ice blue eyes still haunt the quiet parts of my brain I want to wake up tangled in your arms every dawn Feel your love to my core, baby, let the years be gone What I wouldn’t give to turn back the hands of time The first day I saw you, I knew you should be mine (Bridge) Thoughts of you and me have painted every empty year I’m ready to be reckless, let the consequences near But tell me, do you still see me when the lights go low? Or have these long years buried what we’ll never know? Losing you before I ever really had you Would be the sharpest kind of pain I’ve ever been through (Final Chorus – softer, almost a plea) I never stopped missing your smile, that laugh like summer rain Ice blue eyes that still undo me, pull me back again I want to wake up next to you, no more looking back Feel your love like sunlight breaking through the cracks I’m not the girl who waited—I’m the one who’s finally here Say you want me too, love… say the future’s clear (Outro – whispered, spoken-sung) ’Cause the shyest girl at the party… is still waiting for you to look my way.
