👁️💙 The Way You Looked at Me is an emotional dreamwave / synthwave song about missing more than someone you once loved? missing the version of yourself that seemed to exist when you were seen through their eyes.
Intimate female vocals, soft analog vibraphone, deep electronic drums, melodic bass, shimmering guitars, expressive bends, warm synth textures, reversed harmonics and expansive reverb create a tender, nostalgic atmosphere somewhere between memory and letting go.
“Sometimes I still miss the woman I was when you looked at me.”
A song for old photographs, unforgettable looks, lost relationships and anyone who has ever wondered whether they miss someone — or simply miss who they were when that person loved them.
Perfect for fans of NIGHT TRAVELER, The Midnight, The Japanese House, London Grammar, Daughter and cinematic dreamwave. 💜

Lyrics :
I don’t remember what you wore
The first night that we met
I don’t remember what we talked about
Or what we drank back then
But I remember looking up…
And how you looked at me.
You had this way of listening
Like nothing else was there
I’d lose the ending of a sentence
And you’d wait for me somewhere
I wasn’t prettier beside you
I wasn’t suddenly complete
But somehow I became somebody…
I didn’t have to second-guess.
Maybe that’s what I’ve been missing
Every time I think of you
Not the places, not the kisses…
But who I was inside your view.
I miss the way you looked at me
Like I was easy to believe in
Like every strange and restless part
Was something worth keeping
I’ve learned to live without your hands
Without your body next to me
But sometimes I still miss the woman…
I was when you looked at me.
I saw you in an old photograph
Your face was turned away
And what surprised me wasn’t missing you
It was remembering my face
I looked so completely unafraid
Of taking up that space
Like loving me was ordinary…
And I had started feeling the same.
Maybe you didn’t give me something
That disappeared when you were gone
Maybe you just held the mirror…
Till I could see what was there all along.
I miss the way you looked at me
Like I was easy to believe in
Like every strange and restless part
Was something worth keeping
I’ve learned to live without your hands
Without your body next to me
But sometimes I still miss the woman…
I was when you looked at me.
For a long time…
I thought…
You made me feel beautiful.
Like it belonged…
To you somehow.
But you didn’t…
Put that woman in me.
You just…
Saw her first.
So I don’t need another person
To give that version back to me
Maybe all I really needed…
Was to learn to look that deeply.
I loved the way you looked at me
Like I was easy to believe in
Like every strange and restless part
Was something worth keeping
And I can miss the way it felt
Without believing that I need
Another pair of eyes to find…
The woman you once saw in me.
She’s still here.
She never left with you.
I don’t remember what you wore
Or what we drank that night
But I remember how you saw me…
And I think I finally understand why.
I can see her too.
