I swore forever with a diamond and a vow,
Built a little life, got the family figured out.
Then you walked in slow at a Sunday cookout,
And suddenly my common sense was headed south.
You lean against the porch with that crooked little grin,
Got me losing every battle that I swore I’d always win.
One eye on the highway, one eye on me,
Boy, you got me tangled in a sweet catastrophe.
Pre-Chorus
I know it’s wrong, I know the line,
But every time you smile, you blur my mind.
I should be running, but I’m standing still,
Caught up in a feeling I don’t wanna kill.
Chorus
Oh, your eyes ain’t looking where they’re supposed to be,
But somehow they both keep finding me.
And every family dinner feels dangerously close,
When you’re laughing at my jokes across the room.
I tell myself “don’t fall,” but I already know,
I’m dancing with a secret I should never show.
One eye on the future, one eye on goodbye,
And I’m falling for my husband’s cousin with the lazy eye.
Verse 2
You ain’t a movie star, you ain’t some perfect dream,
But there’s something ‘bout your chaos pulling on my seams.
The way you say my name like it’s a melody,
Makes a guilty little fire burn inside of me.
And Lord knows I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t weak,
When you brush right past me and my heart forgets to beat.
I keep pretending everything’s alright,
While your sideways glance keeps me awake at night.
Pre-Chorus
I know it’s wrong, I know the cost,
But some roads feel worth getting lost.
Every warning sign is shining bright,
Yet here I am craving another night.
Chorus
Oh, your eyes ain’t looking where they’re supposed to be,
But somehow they both keep finding me.
And every family dinner feels dangerously close,
When you’re laughing at my jokes across the room.
I tell myself “don’t fall,” but I already know,
I’m dancing with a secret I should never show.
One eye on the future, one eye on goodbye,
And I’m falling for my husband’s cousin with the lazy eye.
Bridge
Maybe it’s the danger, maybe it’s the thrill,
Maybe it’s the way you make the whole world still.
Maybe I’m a fool, maybe I’m a mess,
Maybe your crooked gaze just hit me best.
Final Chorus
Your eyes ain’t looking where they’re supposed to be,
But somehow they both keep landing on me.
And I know this story ain’t the kind that ends right,
Still I replay every moment every night.
One eye on my conscience, one eye on desire,
Watching all my good intentions catch fire.
And if loving you is wrong, then tell me why,
I can’t stop dreaming of that cousin with the lazy eye
Kore
