Subtle Intensity

Did I ever tell you that you’re wonderful?

You’ve got midnight eyes so filled with soul.

Wish to inhabit the spirit of rock and roll

and black out the rest.

 

Did I ever tell you that I want to do

anything that you want me to?

I swear that it’s all for you,

I’ll give you my best.

 

But I can’t be that girl

that steals you away,

I know she wants you too.

Yeah, boy, she won,

but I want my fun,

and I don’t think she deserves you.

But there’s nothing I can do

 

But hope our eyes meet,

up in the circus of

biology,

damn those chemicals are wicked.

Just trying to make sense

of this psychology,

and why I keep chasing

what I can’t see,

but those chemicals they’re so wicked.

 

Have I ever told you I am so confused,

I haven’t a clue what to say to you.

Erase these things from the present to

remember again.

 

But those midnight eyes, oh can’t you see,

they’re filled with such subtle intensity.

I know that it can’t be me,

I’ll just lose it again.

 

Because I can’t be that girl

that steals you away,

I know I missed my chance.

Say that it’s me,

but it’s just a dream,

and I can’t steal your romance.

But just tell me there’s a chance

 

Cause when our eyes meet

up in the circus of

biology,

damn those chemicals are wicked.

Just trying to make sense

of this psychology,

and why I keep chasing

what I can’t see,

but those chemicals they’re so wicked.
