When You Look Me in the Eyes Lyrics

[Intro: Nick Jonas & Joe Jonas]
Oh, oh, yeah
Oh-oh, yeah

[Verse 1: Joe Jonas & Nick Jonas]
If the heart is always searching
Can you ever find a home?
I've been looking for that someone
I'll never make it on my own
Dreams can't take the place of loving you
There's gotta be a million reasons why it's true

[Chorus: Nick Jonas]
When you look me in the eyes
And tell me that you love me
Everything's alright
When you're right here by my side
When you look me in the eyes
I catch a glimpse of heaven
I find my paradise
When you look me in the eyes

[Verse 2: Joe Jonas & Nick Jonas]
How long will I be waiting
To be with you again?
I'm gonna tell you that I love you
In the best way that I can
I can't take a day without you here
You're the light that makes my darkness disappear

[Chorus: Nick Jonas]
When you look me in the eyes
And tell me that you love me
Everything's alright
When you're right here by my side
When you look me in the eyes
I catch a glimpse of heaven
I find my paradise
When you look me in the eyes

[Bridge: Nick Jonas & Joe Jonas]
More and more, I start to realize
I can reach my tomorrow
I can hold my head up high
And it's all because you're by my side

[Breakdown: Nick Jonas]
When you look me in the eyes
You tell me that you love me
Everything's alright
When you're right here by my side
When I hold you in my arms
I know that it's forever
I just gotta let you know
I never wanna let you go

[Chorus: Nick Jonas & Joe Jonas]
When you look me in the eyes (Yeah)
And tell me that you love me
Everything's alright (It's alright)
When you're right here by my side (By my side)
When you look me in the eyes
I catch a glimpse of heaven
Oh, I find my paradise
When you look me in the eyes

[Outro: Nick Jonas]
Oh, yeah
Oh, whoa, yeah
