[Verse 1]
Hiding notes in a secret place, I know it so
Close my eyes and see aeroplanes, and so it goes
Crossing numbers and counting days for you to see
Fingers move and anticipate, I skip a beat
[Chorus]
Hand me your eyes, oversized
I can see through my disguise
[Verse 2]
I'm with you when I'm by myself
At least I feel like it's true with a little help
And can you tell my heart beats faster when you speak?
And do you know Heaven comes only for a week?
And then it goes
[Chorus]
Hand me your eyes, oversized
I can see through my disguise
Show me your mind, hypnotize
Cover your mood heavy lies
