AlanPeter - IntoTheAbyss Lyrics

I was out looking for nothing. Same as usual, day after day.
Walking the streets and looking for what I don't know how to say.
Then I saw you and those emerald green eyes and long dark hair.
Didn't know if you were looking at me, but I had to know; I had to stare
Tight blue jeans, a black beret and a cool long bag with flowers on it.
Yea, you were looking back at me, and I had to think it out a bit.

When you're looking for nothing, that's all you're gonna get.
If you expect nothing, then you'll only get regret.
It's all in your mind; there's no doubt about it.
Always be aware of what's around; sense it bit by bit.
Then, you need to take a chance and leap into the abyss.
Win or lose, you can try again; it may make your wish.

I was looking decent; My beard was trimmed, and my jeans were clean.
The guitar strapped to my back with my Ray Banz had me looking lean and mean.
Walking across the street, I see her perfect olive skin glow.
She was drinking something fancy but what I didn't know.
I came up to her and said hi as my heart was racing like a long, fast drive.
She said, have a seat. Try one of these pointing at her drink; it'll make you feel alive.

When you're looking for nothing, that's all you're gonna get.
If you expect nothing, then you'll only get regret.
It's all in your mind; there's no doubt about it.
Always be aware of what's around; sense it bit by bit.
Then, you need to take a chance and leap into the abyss.
Win or lose, you can try again; it may make your wish.

I told her alive is what I want to be, and it's tough some days
Without a girl in your life to keep you on the straight n' narrow
She said it's not always easy but to cope and proceed, there are many ways.
You have a guitar, she said, so play me a song. Her words struck me like an arrow.
I'll sing along as well if you don't mind I said. Entertain me she said, I have all day.
I ripped a song I'd written, a love song with a solo and lyrics that'd wanna make you pray.

When you're looking for nothing, that's all you're gonna get.
If you expect nothing, then you'll only get regret.
It's all in your mind; there's no doubt about it.
Always be aware of what's around; sense it bit by bit.
Then you need to take a chance and leap into the abyss.
Win or lose, you can try again; it may make your wish.

She said you're really good. I loved your song. Since I play the piano, let's play it right.
Sounds just fine, I said. I'd love to hear your piano playing, maybe tomorrow night?
Sounds good, she said. My apartment has a studio set up for acoustics and song.
C'mon over, she said, bring your guitar and your music, and we'll jam all night long.
Leaping turned out fine for me. Her name is Aria, and we've been rocking.
So get out there and jump into the abyss. Bring on the action and stop all the talking.
