Eyes of Adoration

#VERSE
I’m sitting in the breakroom
Emma’s across from me
A friendly conversation
Then her words stop suddenly
Her eyes look up behind me
At someone walking by
It’s Darren, dumb jerk Darren
The big ego warehouse guy
#PRE-CHORUS
But Emma’s look spoke loudly
Didn’t think he was a jerk
Her eyes were glued to him
More than flirting at work
#CHORUS
Eyes of adoration
Eyes of adoration
Longer lasting than a
Blink of infatuation
#VERSE
Once Darren was out of view
Emma’s words started again
“You know, I like that Darren dude
Wanna be with him as more than friends”
#PRE-CHORUS
But a few days later I was eating lunch
Darren was there, giving Angie that look
And Angie gave it back to him
Knew in an instant Emma’s chances were cooked
#CHORUS
Eyes of adoration
Eyes of adoration
Longer lasting than a
Blink of infatuation
When two people have it
There’s no hesitation
Eyes of adoration
Eyes of adoration
#BRIDGE
Emma’s drooling over Darren
Meant she hadn’t even seen
That the look of adoration
Was locked on her from me
On Friday I sat ’cross from her
Looked straight in her eyes
And how she responded
Was a breakroom surprise
#VERSE
Emma looked back at me
Stared deeply, but then blinked
“Bud,” she said, “Don’t do it
My love for you is long extinct
Yeah, I could’ve fallen for you
Earlier this year
But to see you look at me that way
My feelings for you disappear”
#PRE-CHORUS
I was shocked and momentarily stunned
Till Darren yelled at Angie by the snack machine
Darren stormed off, and what did I see
Angie’s eyes of adoration locked on me
#CHORUS
Eyes of adoration
Eyes of adoration
Twisting me in love triangles
With breakroom revelations
’Cause Angie wasn’t eyeing me
She had Emma under observation
#CHORUS
Eyes of adoration
Eyes of adoration
Longer lasting than a
Blink of infatuation
When two people have it
There’s no hesitation
Eyes of adoration
Eyes of adoration
#OUTRO
When two people have it
There’s no hesitation
Eyes of adoration
Eyes of adoration
