What Is What
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why don't you see it?
Why don't you feel me?
I won't be keeped
You are misteaching me
Cave on, stay showed, ah
I got you seeking my company
I have to build through those eyes
To see that world complete
That world comes to me
I can show you what is what
I can show you how it operates
Now that I know you
I can show you how it works
I saw you speaking and I don't believed
You're not of speaking
I have to lead you to change
This change I can lead, honey
You got your secrets
Your sovereignty
I'm not betraying your eyes to leave them come me
With no complications
I can show you what is what
I can show you how it operates
Now that I know you
I can show you how to getting comfort
I can show you how this works
I can show you how to getting comfort
It's a little tossing world
Positioned in time
And smiling, put that's all behind
'Cause my world is peaceful
It's very kind
In silence, I leave your eyes
Talk to me
Now that I know you
I can show you what is what
Now that I know you
I can show you how to getting comfort
Stoped, letting go
I can show you how it works
I can show you what is what
I can show you how it operates
Now that I know you
I can show you how it works
