(do you want to shine?)
Excuse me sir, excuse me ma'am
Pardon me kin, welcome family and friends
It's so nice to feel you
It's like i can see you there
The outline of your face, your skin, your stance, your hair
And damn, you give me chills
You startled my sleep, my eat, my walk, my talk
Just all around my being
But that's okay
Walk into me with open arms
Kiss my face
When i sleep i enjoy your charm and...
Hey, i am dying to see you
Much like you've died to see me
What's it like to be you?
To be bathed in the sun it seems
Hello friend standing across that room
I turn to you, but you keep fading
Do you remember when i was a child
You came to me for a while
With much less sunbathing
Give me wings with your arms on my skin
I feel you but it is though you're not in the room
The peripheral people purposely prowling to side of my eye
Day and night
All the time and...
Hey, i am dying to see you
Much like you've died to see me
What's it like to be you?
To be bathed in the sun it seems
Do you want to shine?
I say yes like the sun, like the sun
No, no, no
Do you want to shine?
I say yes like the sun, like the sun
No, no, no
Do you want to shine?
I say yes like the sun, like the sun
No, no, no
Do you want to shine?
Like the sun, like the sun
I am dying to see you
Much like you've died to see me
What's it like to be you?
To be bathed in the sun it seems
