Dave Matthews
What You Are
[Verse 1]
I walk into this room, all eyes on me now
But I do not know the people inside
They look straight through me, these eyes
Seeking more wisdom than I have to give away
Realize, realize what you are
[Chorus 1]
What you've become, just as I have
Are you and I so unalike?
Huddled here you just as I am
Afraid if we dance we might die
[Chorus 2]
Mock the world
Live safe, say why
Don't you know when you give life
Then you become what you are
[Verse 2]
The sea is unsparing
We're all drifting away
Away from you
But I pray for you now
Hoping to God on high
Is like clinging to straws
While drowning, oh
Realize, realize what you are
[Chorus 1] + [Chorus 2]
[Verse 3]
What you are
Is a beast in a lover's arms
What you are
Is the devil in the sweet, sweet kiss
What you are
Is missing a piece
What you are
Is a puzzle to me
[Chorus 1]
[Verse 4]
What the world give to you
Don't you know
When you give life
Then you become what you are
[Outro]
Don't trust me
Trust you
Up to you
Trust you
