Don't Look Away

The Magnetic Fields · Get Lost [1995]

Don't look away, I don't think I could stand it

So don't look away 'cause my heart couldn't handle it

There's a fire in your eyes and it's melting the ice

In my heart, so don't blink an eye



They're so beautiful open just let them cry

Or the spell will be broken, the moments in your gaze

Have been turning to days, in my heart we've never met

And yet we're in love, never forget one look is enough



Just as long as you don't look away

We can never be lovers, there's one chance to take

There won't be any others, I'll be spending my life

With your eyes like a knife in my heart
