A Day Inside

Apparently, the verduras revueltas (mixed veggie dish) I had for lunch yesterday is now revuelt-ing my stomach, to put it politely. For the 2nd time in 2 weeks, I watched the sun rise from the bathroom. Bleh. Therefore, I didn't go to class. After I crawled shakily back into bed, I slept hard until 10:30.

Now I'm up and looking for academic articles on Project Muse and Jstor for a history paper, and all the while, I'm listening to my music. Today is a mellower music day. It fits with my so/so feeling and need to relax.

Today's SotD is "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel. If you've ever seen that adorable late 80s movie "Say Anything", you'll recognize this song as the one John Cusack plays on the boom box held over his head, right under his girlfriend's window. I love the words and the music, so look AND listen! Besides, this music video's hilarious with his dancing. Now for some chicken soup...



In Your Eyes

Love, I get so lost sometimes
Days pass
And this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away
I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

All my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat I see in your eyes

Love, I don't like to see so much pain
So much wasted
And this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you
To keep me awake and alive

And all my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
The heat I see in your eyes
In your eyes in your eyes
