Lyrics
I walk up to a stranger wonder what I'll see.
The first thing I notice is their eyes on me.
It's like a window's between us that lets us watch both ways.
Looking through it, trying to cut through the maze.
Two people eye each other, where to begin I'm looking out, you're looking in.
To see who the other is, what they're all about.
I'm looking in, you're looking out.
When you stare at someone directly in the eyes
It's hard to fake a story or convincing disguise.
You try to figure out if they're just for show.
Or you could become friends, yeah you never know.
Two people eye each other, where to begin
I'm looking out, you're looking in.
To see who the other is, what they're all about.
I'm looking in, you're looking out.
Whether they are squinting or eyes open wide
We get a feeling 'bout them and what they feel inside.
Their expression tells us if there's something they want told.
We watch them and listen to see if we are sold.
Two people eye each other, where to begin
I'm looking out, you're looking in.
To see who the other is, what they're all about.
I'm looking in, you're looking out.
