[Verse 1] I’ve been counting the months on the back of my hand Watching you laugh from the other side of the room Your hair falls just right when you turn your head And I swear every time feels a little too soon I write out the lines in my head on the drive Practice the smile, then I let it all die You’re right there with your coffee and that look in your face Like the world is still open and I’m running out of space [Pre-Chorus] I’ve had a hundred chances, a thousand almosts Every one of them ending the same [Chorus] I’m trying to find love in your open eyes Like it’s written right there and I’m missing the signs You’re looking through me like I’m already gone But I’m still standing here with the words on my tongue Trying to find love in your open eyes Trying to find love in your open eyes [Verse 2] You talk with your hands and the whole table leans in I catch half the story from the edge of the spin Months of “next time” and “I’ll do it today” But the moment keeps moving and I stay in my place Your eyes catch the light when you glance over here Like you already know what I’m scared to say clear I keep waiting for perfect, for the stars to align While you’re living your life and I’m stuck in the line [Pre-Chorus] I’ve had a hundred chances, a thousand almosts Every one of them ending the same [Chorus] I’m trying to find love in your open eyes Like it’s written right there and I’m missing the signs You’re looking through me like I’m already gone But I’m still standing here with the words on my tongue Trying to find love in your open eyes Trying to find love in your open eyes [Bridge] What if I just walk over and say it out loud? What if the timing’s already been found? Your eyes stay open, the world doesn’t wait And I’ve been stuck in the doorway for months on the same page [Final Chorus] I’m trying to find love in your open eyes Like it’s written right there and I’m missing the signs You’re looking through me like I’m already gone But I’m still standing here with the words on my tongue Trying to find love in your open eyes Trying to find love in your open eyes [Outro] Open eyes… Open eyes… I’m still trying…
