Look At Me

Ah ah ah…
Ah ah ah…

The breeze starts to blow, and then what do you know?
Something's different, I can't quite explain
Like a sound in the back of my brain
But undefined.

A shift in the light or the sun just got brighter
For sure, there's a change in the air
It's like something I wasn't aware
I'd left behind.

He looked at me
And it wasn't the look I expected
No, he looked at me
Like he really could see.

Quietly
But this stranger and I, we connected
When he looked at me
What on Earth could that be?

Ah ah ah…

Has shed stood in this spot?
Has she tasted this water?
Has she walked on that bridge?
With her hair blowing in this breeze.

I am looking for the eight
I am looking for the light
I am looking for.

I start to forget what I look like and yet
All it takes is one second one day
All these things that I've hidden away
One glance reveals.

The ache and the buzz of the girl that I was
Before now, before him, before them
It's remarkable just to remember
How it feels!

Just look at me
At my hands, at my mouth, at my shoulder
Talk to me, like there's something to say
Suddenly
In this minute, I'm not getting older
Please just look at me
And then please walk away.

Don't offer your hand
Don't reach for my waist
Don't lean towards my lips
Just
Please
Look at me.
