Not What You See

No life's so short, it can't turn around
 You can't spend your life living underground
 Far from above, you don't hear a sound
 And I'm out here, waiting
 I don't understand what you want me to be
 It's the dark you're hating
 It's not who I am, but I know that it's all that you see
 No life's so short that it never learns
 No flame so small that it never burns
 No page so sure that it never turns
 And I'm out here, waiting
 I don't understand what you want me to be
 It's the dark you're hating
 It's not who I am, but I know that it's all that you see
 Can you live your life in a day
 Putting every moment in play?
 Never hear a word that they say as the wheels go around
 Tell me, if you win, would it show?
 In a thousand years, who would know?
 As a million lives come and go on this same piece of ground
 (I've been) can you live your life in a day
 (Waiting) putting every moment in play?
 (I don't understand what you) never hear a word that they say
 (Want me to be) as the wheels go around
 (It's the dark you're) tell me if you win would it show
 (Hating) in a thousand years, who would know?
 (It's not who I am, but it is) as a million lives come and go
 (What you see) on this same piece of ground
 (I've been) tell me would you really want to
 (Waiting) see me leave this night without you
 (I don't understand what you) would you ever look about you
 (Want me to be) wondering where we might be
 (It's the dark you're) New York is so far away now
 (Hating) Tokyo, Berlin and Moscow
 (It's not who I am, but it is) only dreams from here but somehow
 (What you see) one day that world we will see
 I don't understand (can you live your life in a day)
 I don't understand (putting every moment in play?)
 I don't understand (would you ever look about you)
 I don't understand (never hear a word that they say)
 I don't understand (as the wheels go around)
 I don't understand (tell me if you win, would it show?)
 I don't understand (in a thousand years, who would know?)
 I don't understand what I see
 ♪
 I swear on tomorrow, if you take this chance
 Our lives are this moment, the music, the dance
 And here in this labyrinth of lost mysteries
 I close my eyes on this night, and you're all that I see
 You're all that I see
