Rabbit in the Headlights Lyrics by Michael Oakley

California

2016

[Verse 1]
It's gotta be me, there's no way
Someone else could feel this way I feel about you
And we're free
To be what we want and touch the sky together
Before you came around
I was drowning in the depths of despair
And then when you finally came
It's funny you were unaware
[Chorus]
That when you look in my eyes
I'm a rabbit in the headlights (Woah)
And when you're touchin' my skin
I'm a river in the moonlight (Woah)
It's got to be the right time, the right place
The right kind of moment (Woah)
It's got to be the right kind of feeling
And deeper emotion
[Verse 2]
I'm holding back insecurity
Takin' me two steps forward and one step back from you
I'm afraid
If I try to reach too soon that you might back away
How can I try to hide
A feeling that's so wonderful?
How do I tell you that
You're the fire burnin' in my soul?
[Chorus]
'Cause when you look in my eyes
I'm a rabbit in the headlights (Woah)
And when you're touchin' my skin
I'm a river in the moonlight (Woah)
It's got to be the right time, the right place
The right kind of moment (Woah)
It's got to be the right kind of feeling
And deeper emotion
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
'Cause when you look in my eyes
I'm a rabbit in the headlights (Woah)
And when you're touchin' my skin
I'm a river in the moonlight (Woah)
It's got to be the right time, the right place
The right kind of moment (Woah)
It's got to be the right kind of feeling
And deeper emotion
