Not What You See (Acoustic Version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] No life's so short it can't turn around You can't spend your life living underground Far from above you don't hear a sound And I'm out here, waiting I don't understand what you want me to be It's the dark you're hating It's not who I am But I know that it's all that you see [Verse 2] No life's so short that it never learns No flame so small that it never burns No page so sure that it never turns And I'm out here, waiting I don't understand what you want me to be It's the dark you're hating It's not who I am But I know that it's all that you see [Chorus] Can you live your life in a day Putting every moment in play? Never hear a word that they say As the wheels go around Tell me, if you win would it show? In a thousand years, who would know? As a million lives come and go On this same piece of ground [Chorus] Can you live your life in a day (I've been waiting) Putting every moment in play? Never hear a word that they say (I don't understand what you want me to be) As the wheels go around Tell me, if you win would it show (It's the dark you're hating) In a thousand years, who would know? As a million lives come and go (It's not who I am, but it is what you see) On this same piece of ground [Pre-Chorus] I've been waiting I don't understand what you want me to be It's the dark you're hating It's not who I am, but it is what you see [Chorus] Tell me, would you really want to (Can you live your life in a day) See me leave this night without you (Putting every moment in play?) Would you ever look about you (Never hear a word that they say) Wondering where we might be (As the wheels go around) New York is so far away now (Tell me, if you win would it show) Tokyo, Berlin and Moscow (In a thousand years, who would know?) Only dreams from here but somehow (As a million lives come and go) One day that world we will see (On this same piece of ground) [Bridge] I don't understand I don't understand I don't understand I don't understand I don't understand I don't understand I don't understand I don't understand what I see [Verse 3] I swear on tomorrow, if you take this chance Our lives are this moment, the music, the dance And here in this labyrinth of lost mysteries I close my eyes on this night and you're all that I see [Outro] You're all that I see
