Lyrics

Original version (2021)

It is expected, an oath by blood to hold the tome

And the starlight passes overhead, fuels all the skills I've honed

I am a guardian, a watcher of these ancient rites

Yet I find myself drawn from that path on those dazzling moonlit nights

Let me hold you, keep you close to me, I long to hear your voice

Come now, my little impish plaything, we both made our choice

I can give you everything you need

Or do you want to hear me plead?

Just look my way

Just look my way

Is there something more that I don't know?

That you won't say 'til we've both grown cold?

Just say, please stay

Look my way

This unspoken contract, a deed we forged for mutual gain

If that's all this was, when you're not here, what is this rooted pain?

I don't care that you're of lower station, or primed to sate my dark temptations

Why can't you understand? Let me explain!

'Cause I'm terrified, as I cry to make these feelings true

What's left for me in this broken house if I cannot have you?

I can give you everything you need

Or do you want to hear me plead?

Just look my way

Just look my way

Is there something more that I don't know?

That you won't say 'til we've both grown cold?

Just say, please stay

Look my way

Unless it's me... and no matter what in this world I could give

It's not enough to get through the walls you've conjured up to live

Is this how she'd feel? Abandoned, all alone and left to fend

For herself, for some semblance of happiness that doesn't have to end?

I will try to make amends

For making you means to an end

So look my way

Please look my way

And if there's something more that I don't know

I'll save us both before we grow cold

If you'll stay and just say...

Look my way

Look my way

Look my way

Pinkham's version (2023)

It is expected, an oath by blood to hold the tome

And the starlight passes overhead, fuels all the skills I've honed

I am a guardian, a watcher of these ancient rites

Yet I find myself drawn from that path on those dazzling moonlit nights

Let me hold you, keep you close to me, I long to hear your voice

But, dearest, I know better now; I must give you this choice

I can give you everything you need

Or do you want to hear me plead?

Just look my way

Just look my way

Is there something more that I don't know

That you won't say 'til we've both grown cold?

Just say, "Please, stay. Look my way"

This unspoken contract, a deed we forged for mutual gain

If that's all this was when you're not here, what is this rooted pain?

I don't care that you're of lower station, or primed to sate my dark temptations

Why can't you understand? Let me explain!

And I'm terrified, as I cry to make these feelings true

What's left for me and my broken heart if I cannot have you?

Unless it's me... and no matter what in this world I could give

It's not enough to get through the walls you've conjured up to live

Is this what you feel? Scorned by a realm that cannot comprehend

What you are; so, I'll grant you this mercy, this bind on our souls needs to end

I will try to make amends

For making you means to an end

So, look my way

Please look my way

And if there's something more that I don't know

I'll save us both before we grow cold

If you'll stay, and just say, "Look my way"
