Michael Oakley - Rabbit In The Headlights

It's gotta be me
There's no way
Someone else could feel this way
I feel about you
And we're free
To be what we want
And touch the sky together
Before you came around
I was drowning in the depths of despair


And then when you finally came
It's funny you were unaware
That when you look in my eyes
I'm a rabbit in the headlights


And when you're touchin' my skin
I'm a river in the moonlight
It's got to be the right time
The right place
The right kind of moment
It's got to be the right kind of feeling
And deeper emotion


I'm holding back insecurity
Taking me two steps forward
One step back from you
I'm afraid
If I try to reach too soon
That you might back away
How can I try to hide
A feeling that's so wonderful
How do I tell you that
You're the fire burning in my soul


'Cause when you look in my eyes
I'm a rabbit in the headlights
And when you're touchin' my skin
I'm a river in the moonlight


It's got to be the right time
The right place
The right kind of moment
It's got to be the right kind of feeling
And deeper emotion


'Cause when you look in my eyes
I'm a rabbit in the headlights
And baby when you're touchin' my skin
I'm a river in the moonlight


It's got to be the right time
The right place
The right kind of moment
It's got to be the right kind of feeling
And deeper emotion

This stuff is so good. .from a teen in the 80s

YOU ROCK FOR THIS SONG!

someone once made me feel like this, it was an online thang and I can’t seem to find this person anymore. lmhmsg, if you’re still hearing this or perhaps one day you see this comment- ever, jww really missed you. tried finding you everywhere, even rabbit changed. I hope you’re living well.

I have a reasonable collection of New Retro Wave music, and always looking for good singers. Very fortunately, my son enquired if I had any music by Michael Oakley, and to my shame I said no. Off I went to harvest your music after listening Rabbit in the Headlights.Had a 'smile like a Cheshire cat', having listened to many tracks. My great favourites  are: The Midnight and Ollie Wride. So my friend, please step up and join the exalted. Now I have to trawl to make sure I have not missed any of your music. Very best of  wishes to you :-)

Help, can't stop listening to this song! Found it on Spotify!

A wonderful summation of the few crushes I've had and let go.

Turns out I've got some severe social anxiety/clinical depression so the fear was real and I never said anything to them.

It truly is better to feel rejected for a moment than to feel regret forever.

The song and the vocals are through the fu*** roof, so cool!!!!

THIS IS PERFECTION!!! Atmospheric sound and vocals !!!! Congratulation my friend!!!

I have never related to anything more than I have to this

Thank you for this wonderful Song and please stay safe from Corona Virus.. many greetings from Brunswick in Germany :)

Greetings from Brazil!!! Nice sound and music!!!

Hurts 80s

Heloo New Retrowave!!
Who create your logo? Is some one who make one for me? (heheheh)
I like much this style.
Can you tell me? Have a link?
Thanks!!!!

Wish we could get these without the lyrics

I just recently discovered this genre. I am never going back to the crappy music they make nowadays.

I’m speechless to how well put together this is

Amazing song!

How i feel with my wife. When she looks at me, with those beautiful hazel eyes... i feel powerless.

A Masterpiece of the new retro wave. Michael Oakley became my favorite singer.

Total masterpiece.

Looks like I'm gonna play this on repeat until another song captures my soul

Great song, like it a lot

This is a rare gem, its not just music, it speaks to your heart and for your heart, enhancing a feel that is already there.

I've never related to a song more than this one, it goes out to my love, I hope she realizes how much I love her, Te Amo Sapphire

It seems inspired by a 80's song named The Night, by Valerie Dore.

Wow! This is a Powerful Song. I hope that I will be able to dedicate it to someone one day!

Rad, absolutely perfect highway driving music!!! A classic for my Retro-verse playlist!

It's gotta be me

There's no way

Someone else could feel this way

I feel about you

Que musica boa do caramba

[Verse 1]
It's gotta be me, there's no way
Someone else could feel this way I feel about you
And we're free
To be what we want and touch the sky together
Before you came around
I was drowning in the depths of despair
And then when you finally came
It's funny you were unaware

[Chorus]
That when you look in my eyes
I'm a rabbit in the headlights (Woah)
And when you're touchin' my skin
I'm a river in the moonlight (Woah)
It's got to be the right time, the right place
The right kind of moment (Woah)
It's got to be the right kind of feeling
And deeper emotion

[Verse 2]
I'm holding back insecurity
Takin' me two steps forward and one step back from you
I'm afraid
If I try to reach too soon that you might back away
How can I try to hide
A feeling that's so wonderful?
How do I tell you that
You're the fire burnin' in my soul?

This track is still my favorite, man. I really like the lyrics.

Pure Den Harrow 80's

The vocal, the synths, the composition. It’s amazing work!

Playing this at my wedding

LYRICS
It's gotta be me
There's no way
Someone else could feel this way
I feel about you
And we're free
To do what we want
And touch the sky together
Before you came around
I was driving in the depths of despair

And then when you finally came
It's funny you would run away
But when you look in my eyes
I'm a rabbit in the headlights

And when you're touchin' my skin
I'm a river in the moonlight
It's got to be the right time
The right place
The right kind of moment
It's got to be the right kind of feeling
In deeper emotion

I'm holding back insecurity
Taking me two steps forward
One step back from you
I'm afraid
If I try to reach too soon
That you might back away
How can I try to hide
A feeling that's so wonderful
How do I tell you that
That you're the fire burning in my soul

'cause when you look in my eyes
I'm a rabbit in the headlights
And when you're touchin' my skin
I'm a river in the moonlight

It's got to be the right time
The right place
The right kind of moment
It's got to be the right kind of feeling
In deeper emotion

'cause when you look in my eyes
I'm a rabbit in the headlights
And baby when you're touchin' my skin
I'm a river in the moonlight

It's got to be the right time
The right place
The right kind of moment
It's got to be the right kind of feeling
In deeper emotion

MASTERPIECE
