Look at Me

When I look at you

I swear I've seen the way it's gonna be

All the good that's gonna happen to me

The thrill of every possibility

Oh, when I look at you

I worry, you worry about the plans

Just know I'm gonna work a little harder

Be a little smarter, and walk a little lighter

But when you look at me

I swear I've made that face a million times

It's the way you breathe

When someone sounds like they're out of their mind

Oh, when you look at me

I'll know you never want to break me down

With your worry and your aching doubt

Wondering which of us will wind it down

Oh, when I look at you

I feel I'm keeping you from where you wanna be

The healing power of the right geography

And the way your feet feel on a city street

Oh, when I look at you

I don't know how, but I'd like to try and see

That maybe if we talk a little calmer

Plan the right way, we can stay a little longer

Oh, but when you look at me

I swear I've made that face a million times

It's the way you breathe

When someone looks like a memory in real-time

Oh, when you look at me

I know you never want to break me down

Is it just a little evening doubt

Or a reckoning worth hashing out?

'Cause when you look at me

I swear you've made that face for six long months

It's always how you breathe

When you say, "I've been thinking," then you let it all out at once

Oh, when you look at me

I swear you're looking for someone else

And for all the times I tried to help

It's as useless as I've ever felt
