Either/Or Lyrics by XIV

Theta

2010

[Verse 1]
The light is playing tricks again
With my mind
With my heart
No matter how hard I try
There’s something keeping us apart

[Chorus 1]
Open up your heavy eyes
Open up to me
I know that this isn’t love
But that don’t mean
That don’t mean this shouldn’t be

[Verse 2]
You’re drifting in and out of here
The either/or
Is never far
Time binds us together
But you haven’t noticed
Where we are

What is this feeling you bury deep inside?

[Chorus 2]
Oooh, open up your heavy eyes
Open up to me
I know that this isn’t love
But that don’t mean
That don’t mеan this shouldn’t be

[Verse 3]
You trust because I say so
But I wondеr what you believe
The eyes, they wouldn’t lie to me
But the smiles, they do deceive

What is this feeling you bury deep inside?

[Chorus 3]
Oooh, open up your heavy eyes
Open up to me
We know that this isn’t love
But that don’t mean
That don’t mean this shouldn’t be

What is this feeling you bury deep inside?
What are you afraid of?
Why do you hide?
