Wandering Eyes Lyrics - Singles - Martha Wainwright

Would you care not standing so close 

I've got a promise that I gotta keep 

And I can't host 

The idea of you & me engaged in a kiss 

It's too dangerous & would be a mess 

Cause I can't, you see 

Someone's in love with me 

And I with he 

So very deeply 

But when things get so goddamn deep 

One has the tendency to feel somewhat weak 

And grasp for air & want to be free 

Of the clenches of love which have a taste that is bittersweet 

Cause I can't, you see 

Someone's in love with me 

And I with he 

So very deeply 

Wandering eyes can bring so much fault 

Especially when they wander too far from their home 

And meeting other wandering eyes 

When all those are only just a fight 

So would you care standing away from me 

I don't want to be set free 

I have realized now that everything is a compromise 

And the grass is no greener on the other side 

Cause I can't, you see 

Someone's in love with me 

And I with he 

So very deeply 

If there were an elixir 

I'd find the mixture 

And I'd make myself a pitcher 

And I with he
