Like thousands of songs before it, “Yellow Eyes” was inspired by a breakup.
It’s a universal thing—millions of people go through breakups all the time.
When I started writing “Yellow Eyes,” I got most of it done in a matter of minutes.
Yellow Eyes Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's a paperclip restin' on my countertop
Sunday morning I forgot
What it's like to lose a friend
Yesterday, how it seemed so far away
And I've said all I can say
[Chorus]
And now it's time I get to goin'
And now it's time I get to findin' my own way
And I'll leave you lonely
I'll leave you lonely
[Verse 2]
Now I'm on the road
Knowin' not which way to go
Is it yes or is it no?
I don't really care
[Verse 3]
For the golden sun
Has washed me away and I've become
Just another vagabond
Holdin' my head
Ohh
[Chorus]
Now it's time I get to goin'
And now it's time I get to findin' my own way
And I'll leave you lonely
I'll leave you lonely
[Bridge]
All in all, it's a beautiful day
When I wake up all alone, I cannot help but run away
Now I'm afraid that it's all in my head
Well, don't you know that it's all in your head
[Verse 4]
So you rolled the dice
Melt the fire, burn the ice
Find the girl with yellow eyes
And go and break her heart
[Verse 5]
See that nothing changes
And I know not what I've become
A prisoner to everyone
I loved from the start
Ohh
[Chorus]
Now it's time I get to goin'
And now it's time I get to findin' my own way
And I'll leave you lonely
I'll leave you lonely
[Outro]
I'll leave you lonely
I'll leave you lonely
I'll leave you lonely
