The Look - Ryan Tedder

Is it possible maybe to have a love so strong
That nothing could ever compare
I'm holding back nothing just for the look in your eyes
So baby don't be surprised

Well I want to know what makes your world go round
And I want to hear your voice for the sound
A love that defines all I've had in mind
Now I'm holding back nothing for the look in your eyes

Impossible, maybe, but worth one last try
I'm waiting on your reply
I'm sitting here patiently just for the chance that I might be able to hold you tight
And I want to know what makes your world go round
And I want to hear your voice for the sound
A love that defines all I've had in mind
Now I'm holding back nothing for the look in your eyes

Now time is all that we have
So won't you let me inside your perfect world for one night
Just open up for me
Girl I swear that I will be everything you've ever thought a man should be

And I want to know what makes your world go round
And I want to hear your voice for the sound
A love that defines all I've had in mind
Now I'm holding back nothing for the look in your...

I can see the way you're lookin' back at me
Oooh... Could it be that you see what you want to see
Just let your eyes believe it
I'll never lie to you, in my arms you will be, forever and I...
I'm holding back nothing for the look in your eyes
The look in your eyes...

I can't sleep. It's not the medicine, it should have knocked me out a while ago. I guess when you think of someone, they stay in your head for a while...even if they're sleeping right next to you.

He made me listen to that song one night. It made me think about how different things were about a year ago. I see things differently now. I know things that I didn't know a year ago. I've grown in so many ways. I've become stronger and a little stranger, but I'm different now.

Everyday is a test. I want to be sure that I'm not in some dreamworld. It's been almost a year now and I still love him. Why? I don't know for sure, but it doesn't matter. I have what I've always wanted, but now what? How do I handle it? I mean, I'm so good at messing up a good thing. I've never been able to keep a man interested for more than 3 months...but why would this one stay with me for so long and insist that he loves me? I guess there are so many things that are just bigger than the two of us.

Yeah, I'm a little scared sometimes. There are times where I doubt myself. There are times where I don't feel attractive or desirable. There are times where I don't believe that I amount to anything...I guess it's normal to question yourself; to explore your thoughts, wants, needs, and dreams... I get confused about a lot of things sometimes, but I guess in the end, I know what's best for myself and for our relationship. We're both treading unfamiliar territory here. Neither of us has been in a relationship this long...and it's just a challege we both share.

A friend keeps telling me, "You need to remind yourselves why you guys love each other." He's right...but now isn't one of those times. How can I remind myself if all I do is think about him? I don't really need any reminding that Arnell loves me. I don't need to remind myself that I love him. Not right now.
