Eye Contact

You don't have to
Read my love poems
You don't have to
Do me favors

You don't have to
You don't have to

You don't have to travel with me
Or go to town with me
Or stay on my arm
Or cross the room to me
Or promise me, promise me
Anything at all

You don't have to
No, you don't
Don't you worry

All I want is eye contact
All I need from you
Is a steadfast gaze
Raising my temp
To temporarily destroy
The doubt I have
That you'll shout my name
Across this crowded canvas

Connect with my sight
And I'll do the rest
The best move I have
Is the touch of your glance
Taking a chance to step onto my face

Place me somewhere within your line of vision
And with precision I'll make the decision to go for it
Like a bike-riding teenager outside his girlfriend's house

I don't need a car
I don't need a boombox
I don't need to believe
That you need me

All I need is eye contact
