Lyrics In Your Eyes

In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel rose to prominence when it was featured in the classic film Say Anything, directed by Cameron Crowe in 1989. Gabriel began working on the song in 1980 and completed it with the help of producer Daniel Lanois. The lyrics of the song convey a deep feeling of love and spiritual connection, partly inspired by Gabriels relationship with actress Rosanna Arquette.

 Love
I get so lost, sometimes
Days pass
And this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away
I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

All my instincts, they return
The grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes, the light the heat
(your eyes) and I'm complete
(your eyes) I see the doorway
(your eyes) to a thousand churches
(your eyes) the resolution
(your eyes) of all the fruitless searches
oh, I see the light and the heat
oh, I want to be that complete
I wanna touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes


Love
I don't like to see so much pain
So much wasted
And this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired
Working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you
To keep me awake and alive

And all my instincts, they return
And grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes
(your eyes)
(your eyes)
In your eyes
(your eyes), the light the heat
(your eyes) and I'm complete
(your eyes) I see the doorway
(your eyes) to a thousand churches
(your eyes) the resolution
(your eyes) of all the fruitless searches
oh, I see the light and the heat
oh, I want to be that complete
I wanna touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes
In your eyes
(In your eyes)
In your eyes
