Princeton Eyes Blues Traveler

Music & Lyrics: John Popper

I wonder if she cried
I wonder what she said
I wonder if I'll ever know
What was going through her head
Was it a shock
Was it a surprise
What was going on
Behind those Princeton eyes

Those beautiful Princeton eyes
Those goddamn Princeton eyes

Years of isolation
Have finally set you free
Luck and relocation
Showed me how I'm supposed to be
There's something in a memory
Something in disguise
Something I just could not see
Blinded by those Princeton eyes

Those beautiful Princeton eyes
Those goddamn Princeton eyes

Dreams and success
Don't have to be the same
But no need to let your bridges burn
Everything is easy
Just play the silly game
One way or another
What better place to learn

I guess you know I'm leaving
And sadly say good bye
As sad as it may be, though
I'm finding it hard to cry
I almost believed you
Almost bought your pack of lies
I guess I was just taken in
By those beautiful Princeton eyes

Those beautiful Princeton eyes
Those goddamn Princeton eyes

Those goddamn Princeton eyes
Those goddamn Princeton eyes
