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
