lyrics
They took your picture again
And no, it never does you justice
I know the camera was there
but you know, it’s got it’s problems
For one, the flash steals your soul
And the lighting, well it’s , it’s never true
That picture’s not who you are
But I see you…
I’ve seen you angry,
seen you wild
I’ve seen you cold
I’ve seen you give
and give your very last
breath, then more
I’ve seen a heart that could overtake the sun
I’ve seen the devil, yes especially
When I’ve been one
We’re all 20 or more people, one face, it’s true
But I...see you…
And it’s beautiful.
And no, it never does you justice
I know the camera was there
but you know, it’s got it’s problems
For one, the flash steals your soul
And the lighting, well it’s , it’s never true
That picture’s not who you are
But I see you…
I’ve seen you angry,
seen you wild
I’ve seen you cold
I’ve seen you give
and give your very last
breath, then more
I’ve seen a heart that could overtake the sun
I’ve seen the devil, yes especially
When I’ve been one
We’re all 20 or more people, one face, it’s true
But I...see you…
And it’s beautiful.
