I'd rather see you be you

I remember when
When I lay my eyes on a diamond
It didn't take my breathe away
You were looking at me strange, yeah

I remember when
When I flew first class to an island
Top floor with an ocean view
You would think I won't feel blue

But there are walls staring at the waves
Staying up thinking 'bout the ways
That you got me to fall
All the things no one else knows at all

Like how you laugh when you make mistakes
Or how you ask me to stay awake
When you can't seem to fall asleep at night

Baby I, I know these things I
I say don't seem like
I have much reason to feel the way that I do

But I sing with the moonlight and the sunshine, it's the brightest
But I'd rather see you be you
I'd rather see you being all that you are
I've seen what the view is like from the building that's the highest
But I'd rather see you be you
When I see you being who you are
I swear baby it's the most beautiful view

You could take me to Bali, yeah
We could float on a yacht
Or to the London Eye, see it from the sky, but it still won't touch

The way you anticipate things
Or how anticipate me
To overthink situations, I don't know how you don't lose your patience, yeah

Yeah, I'm attractive past your attractiveness
Yeah, I'm after your kinda love
And I want you honestly for who you are and who you'll become

And I know these things I
That I say don't seem like
Like I have much reason to feel the way that I do

But I sing with the moonlight and the sunshine, it's the brightest
But I'd rather see you be you
I'd rather see you being all that you are

I've seen what the view is like from the building that's the highest
But I'd rather see you be you
When I see you being who you are
I swear baby it's the most beautiful vie
