I love you from the bottom of my heart
and that’s not gonna change, but things look grim
when I’m watching you watch him
I give you the best a man can hope to give
but I’m not feeling brave
chances are slim
when I’m watching you watch him
oh oh what is there to learn?
when he will let you crash and burn
he never gives attention
but you’re still yearn
where do I fit in
when I’m watching you watch him?
God only knows why I still wait around
except I hate to see you cry
and I need you, but there are things I cannot do
and I want you when he’s playing all his games
and it gets hard to tell who’s the victim
and I am watching you watch him
oh oh what is there to learn?
when he will let you crash and burn
he never gives attention
but you still yearn
where do I fit in
when I’m watching you watch him?
God only knows why I still wait around
except I hate to see you cry
and I need you, but there are things I cannot do
and I love you like a broken record plays
but I’m a window pane, a phantom limb
when I’m watching you watch him
when I’m watching you watch him
when I’m watching you watch him
Tuesday Nov 15th at 7PM ET. Eric will take live questions, play some acoustic tunes, and debut the brand new single ‘Watching You Watch Him‘ in it’s entirety.
Eric’s new album Moving Up, Living Down won’t be out until early 2012, but the first single ‘Watching You Watch Him’ will hit the radio on Nov. 28.
“I thought the album was nearly done — until the melody for ‘Watching You Watch Him’ came to me backstage at the Warfield,” recalls Eric. “I finished the song the next day and then something happened, it must have opened the floodgates, because I ended up writing and recording a ton of new songs that I knew needed to make the final cut for ‘Moving Up, Living Down.’”
Moving Up, Living Down still does not have a release date, but we do finally have a sneak peek from the first single ‘Watching You Watch Him.’ It was used on Grey’s Anatomy this week.
Also, Eric tweeted last week that he is recording a holiday tune… should be cool!
