R&B Soca
[Verse 1] Brooklyn Bronx chat line, your voice pulled me close Two thousand five courthouse, that's when we chose Seven kids running wild, but you saw mine first Treated my firstborn like your own, no rehearse You walk in a room, everybody turns around Your art on the walls, your style breaking ground When you interrupt laughing, they all lean in tight Jonathan, you're a magnet, you're the spark and the light [Pre-Chorus] Homebodies in the quiet, that's our kind of gold Two Weeks Notice on the screen, stories we hold Atlantic City boardwalk, dinners just us two Inside jokes nobody gets, that handshake we do [Chorus] I wish you could see yourself through my eyes Your brilliant mind, baby, it electrifies Your talent explosive, your heart pure and true Jonathan, I'm always here, drowning's not for you See yourself through my eyes, through my eyes You're everything, don't let the darkness rise I'll hold you steady through the lows and the highs See yourself, see yourself through my eyes [Verse 2] Your canvas speaks volumes your hands never say Conversations that hook them, they beg you to stay That charisma you carry, you don't even see How you light up the shadows, set the lonely free We stick through the storms, through the calm and the rough Low-key in our corner, but baby that's enough You don't know the depths, how my love runs deep Every breath that you take is a promise I keep [Pre-Chorus] Real moments, not perfect, that's where we live The everyday magic, the grace that we give You're kindhearted, creative, you're the dream I hold But despair tries to steal you, and that breaks my soul [Chorus] I wish you could see yourself through my eyes Your brilliant mind, baby, it electrifies Your talent explosive, your heart pure and true Jonathan, I'm always here, drowning's not for you See yourself through my eyes, through my eyes You're everything, don't let the darkness rise I'll hold you steady through the lows and the highs See yourself, see yourself through my eyes [Bridge] Even for a moment, just one single breath I'd give you my vision, pull you back from the edge Your art is a fire, your soul is a gift Don't let despair take you, baby, don't drift Twenty years deep and I'm still holding on You're the reason I'm anchored, you're my favorite song [Chorus] I wish you could see yourself through my eyes Your brilliant mind, baby, it electrifies Your talent explosive, your heart pure and true Jonathan, I'm always here, drowning's not for you See yourself through my eyes, through my eyes You're everything, don't let the darkness rise I'll hold you steady through the lows and the highs See yourself, see yourself through my eyes [Outro] I'm always right here, never letting go See yourself the way I see you, Jonathan, you know Through my eyes, through my eyes You're the love of my life, my forever surprise
