Lyrics Dave Matthews Band

Dave Matthews Band

What You Are

I walk into this room

Oh, 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...

What you've become,

Just as I have

Are you and I so unalike?

I don't hear you

Just as I am

Afraid if we dance we might die

Mock the world

Live safe, say why

Don't you know if you live life

Then you become what you are

The seasons sparing

We're all drifting away

Away from you

I pray for you now

Hoping to God on high

Is like clinging to straws

While drowning, oh

Realize, realize what you are...

What you've become

Just as I have

Are you and I so unalike?

I don't hear you

Just as I am

Afraid if we dance we might die

Mock the world

Live safe, say why

Don't you know

When you live life

Then you become what you are

What you are

Is the 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

What you've become

Just as I have

Are you and I so unalike?

I don't hear you

Just as I am

Afraid if we dance we might die

What the world gives to you

Don't you know

When you give life

Then you become what you are?

Don't trust me

Trust you...

Up to you...

Trust you...
