about

Again, words are like music to me. But it’s about an all-too-common situation where our own eyes seem to deceive us. -Gio

lyrics

What I Think I See (I Saw)
by Giovanna Sgarlata


What I think I see I saw
Turning on the time
Did I really see at all?

I know
What do I know?
So deep
All my feelings
Lined up in a row

Passion
Is it passion?
Somehow
My reaction
Baffling to all

(Chorus)

Forget
I don’t think so
Defuse
I don’t think I
Can do that at all

So light
Is it night time?
Reach out
And with blind eyes
No one there at all…

(Chorus)

My first
Inclination
This odd
Deviation
Fills in all the gaps

So lost
Is it that far?
So far
It’s a high price
Seeing
What I saw…

(Chorus)
