Silly Eye-Color Generalizations - Regina Spektor

There are those boys with earthly eyes

Their eyes are like the ground

You walk and walk

Kicking up dirt

But they don’t make a sound

And when they kiss you, they sometimes leave 'em open

Just to make sure you don’t drown

Yeah, the sweetest eyes

The truest eyes are

Probably dark brown

There are those boys with golden hazel eyes

The color of weak tea

They spend their nights howlin' at the moon

To let go of the sea

The scope of their depth is terrifying, thrilling

You think you’re finally free

When they capture you

'Cause golden eyes are as sticky as

Honey from a bee

I’m drownin'

But those with blue

I shouldn’t trust

'Cause I myself have blue

You fall for them so easy

You think you see right through

You take a leap, thinking blue water is deep

When suddenly it’s just grey rain

Then puddles at your feet

They freeze to dirty ice

But somehow they’ll melt back to clean blue water once again

Confusing

Blue eyes, they change like the weather

Blue sea, blue sky, blue pain

I wouldn’t trust my own blue-eyed reflection

As far as I can throw that mirror

Bum bum bum

But these are just silly eye color generalizations

You shouldn’t believe a word I’ve said

'Cause when you’re lying in your bed

Darkness 'round your head

Your eyes might as well be polka-dotted or plaid

Polka-dotted

Or

Plaid
