Lyrics to Eight Seconds

Every day I wake up to pictures of your face

You’re more than an obsession, you’re an acquired taste

Eight seconds of your smile

Eight seconds of your face

What a disgrace I walked towards you too late

(Chorus)

And you’re so beautiful

Eight seconds in my life and I’ve gone crazy!

And you’re so beautiful

Eight seconds I’ll never see you again – I’m crazy!

Every night I swim through crowds in a dream

To hear you speak

I beat myself up for not moving on through,

My will was too weak

Eight seconds of a glance

Eight seconds of a chance

If I’d given a damn I wouldn’t be turning in my sleep

(Chorus)

And you’re so beautiful

Eight seconds in my life and I’ve gone crazy!

And you’re so beautiful

Eight seconds I’ll never see you again – I’m crazy!

In those seconds you should’ve grabbed my hand-

Why didn’t you?

In those seconds you should’ve talked to me-

You wanted to!

Now its over, and I can’t forget

Didn’t know it was a race

No one said, “Get set!”

Every day I wake up to pictures of your face

You’re more than an obsession, you’re an acquired taste

Eight seconds of your smile

Eight seconds of your face

What a disgrace I walked towards you too late

(Chorus)

And you’re so beautiful

Eight seconds in my life and I’ve gone crazy!

And you’re so beautiful

Eight seconds I’ll never see you again – I’m crazy!
