Lyrics
Bill collector’s calling to see if I can pay
Feels like I am falling deeper every day
Often I will worry, sometimes I will cry
All I wanna do is hurry, and leave this all behind
But in your eyes I see it getting better
In your eyes, things look a little clearer
In your eyes, I can see those better days ahead
In your eyes, I can see bluer skies
Digging through the quarters to buy myself a coke
Serving people’s orders, feeling like a joke
The list is getting long now of things I wish I had
It’s easy to forget how things really aren’t that bad
‘Cause in your arms I feel a little stronger
In your arms, I’ll hold on a little longer
In your arms, there’s a place where I am safe
And in your arms, I know I won’t be harmed
My wallet’s pretty empty and times are kinda rough
But as I look around me, I see that it’s enough
‘Cause all that I am missing is stuff I don’t really need
I gotta count my blessings like how you’re here with me
And in your kiss I feel the love flowing
In your kiss, I forget who I am owing
In your kiss, I know it’s gonna be alright
And in your eyes, I can see bluer skies
