When people ask me
I say "it's ancient history"
And I smile through gritted teeth
But I know your stubborn memory won't fade that easily
Now you're a fixture in my favourite dreams
But it's been a minute
Since I saw you
In this light
Through these eyes
Yeah it's been a minute
Since I saw you
In this light
Through these eyes
I've been patient, I've been penitent
And I've been praying and getting no answer
And there's a lot of kind, sweet, loving people out there
But they just don't have what I'm after
I'm after what you I had darling
And I know that we tried once and we failed
But I've got everything crossed you're in the same boat
And if not, let me know that ship has sailed
Cause it's been a minute
Since I saw you
In this light
Through these eyes
Yeah it's been a minute
Since I saw you
In this light
Through these eyes
Cause it's been a minute (Its been a while)
Since I saw you (Hey, how you been?)
In this light (You know I never wanted)
Through these eyes (To just be friends)
Yeah it's been a minute (So I gotta know)
Since I saw you (Do you see what I see?)
In this light
Through these eyes
