i hope one day you’ll look at me because i really wanna talk to you. i hope one day you’ll know my name and even let me walk with you. if only i could introduce myself, just walk up and say hi. if only i could work up the courage, but i’m just too shy. i have trouble concentrating when you sit across from me. i can’t stop looking at you and thinking of where i’ll like to be.
if i could live in one place, whenever and wherever. i would choose the edge of your eyelids, ‘cause then i will be with you forever. i packed all my things which isn’t that much. just some art supplies with a pillow and some snacks to munch. i wouldn’t need my television because i’ll just watch it with you. and i wouldn’t need my homework because nothing would we do. i’d help you win staring contests, you’d never blink. the kids would all be jealous, you won’t even wink.
i’d be with you through school, we’ll graduate together. we’d go to the same college and live through the same weather. i’d be with you on those long nights, when you have to study for a test. and i’ll hold your eyelids open, so you could finish before you rest. i’d be right there for you, always, whenever you felt sad. and i’d dry up every tear with my pillow in my hand. i’d bat away all your nightmares when you finally fall asleep. and thats why i brought my art supplies so i could paint you beautiful dreams.
the days would come when i’d start to think you’ll never find me. and i’ll watch you fall in love and then watch him get on one knee. i’d be with you for the best day of your life. when he becomes your husband, and you become his wife. i’ll still watch every moment, from your left eye to your right. and eventhough i’ll be jealous of him, i’ll still paint your dreams at night. i’d watch you sit up late with the little one and i’d struggle to hold your eyelids until the job was done. i’d be right there with you when your son has grown. i’d be right there always, when you’re all alone.
and when it’s just us all grown and cold, i’m afraid i wouldn’t be able to hold your eyelids ‘cause i’ll be too old. and when the day comes, when we find clouds of white. i’ll use all my paint and make your destination just right. i’d live on your eyelids and i’d never leave. because one of those days, you just might notice me.
