what you are
By: Dave Matthews Band

I walk into this room, all eyes on me now
But I do not know the people inside
Look straight through me these eyes
Seeking more wisdom than I have to give away
Realize what you are

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 will die
Mock the world live safe say why
Don't you know when you give life
Then you become what you are

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

What you are is a beast in a lover's arms
What you are is the devil in a sweet sweet kiss
What you are is a puzzle to me
