Dark Eyes

Verse

She walked in through the neon haze, a shadow in the light. Black ink crawling up her arm, a beautiful design. Her hair was like a raven’s wing, falling past her jaw. She had a look that said she’d break the law. Just to feel alive. She’s got a reputation for a wild, restless soul. A little bit of trouble that you just can’t control. But when she looked at me, I didn't see the storm I just saw a girl who was tired of being torn.

Chorus

Oh, she’s a handful of thunder, she’s a handful of rain. She’s a runaway train running straight through my veins. But I’m gonna hold on tight when the demons start to bite. I’m gonna love the crazy right out of her life. With my hands on her hips and my lips on her skin. I’m the only one who knows where the real wild ends. She’s got the devil inside, but I’m making a stand. For the woman I see in those dark eyes.

Verse

She paints her nails black when she’s feeling blue. She dances on tables with nothing to lose. They say "Run away, boy, she’s gonna burn you down" But I’ve never felt at home in any other town. Than the chaos that she brings. So I’ll chase her through the city, I’ll catch her when she falls. I’ll be the steady anchor when she hears the siren’s call. I’m taming the tiger, I’m quieting the scream. Building a fortress out of a dream.

Chorus

Oh, she’s a handful of thunder, she’s a handful of rain. She’s a runaway train running straight through my veins. But I’m gonna hold on tight when the demons start to bite. I’m gonna love the crazy right out of her life. With my hands on her hips and my lips on her skin. I’m the only one who knows where the real wild ends. She’s got the devil inside, but I’m making a stand. For the woman I see in those dark eyes.

Bridge

The ink stops moving, the storm settles down. We’re tangled up together, safe and sound. She whispers my name, the chaos is gone. It’s just the two of us, from dusk until dawn. She’s finally home.

Chorus

Yeah, she’s a handful of thunder, she’s a handful of rain. But I’m never letting go, I’m gonna break the chain. I held on tight when the demons tried to bite. And I loved the crazy right out of her life. With my hands on her hips and my lips on her skin. I’m the only one who knows where the real wild ends. The devil is gone, and I’m taking a stand...

Outro

Just the woman I see in those dark eyes. Yeah, just the woman I see in those dark eyes. The lights go low... And we get lost in the dark eyes.
