Show Me Everything
(Show me! Show me!)
(Show me! Show me!)
Complexities, treacheries
We watch through glass, we see nothing
Latex on my fingertips
We touch through glass, we feel nothing
All we've carried, all we've owned
Scattered like stones
(Show me! Show me!)
All the mess, all the wrong turns
We could take these stones, we could build something
We could try forever, for trying's sake
And survive alone
You show me everything (Show me! Show me!)
You show me everything I can't afford (Show me! Show me!)
So many new moons to pull us around
So many new stars to guide us
So what do you say?
You show me everything I can't afford
Bound together, separate
Take these stones, build something
Define the walls, decorate
Our mouths on the glass, we believe we'll taste
Everything we could have had
Everything that belongs to us (Show me! Show me!)
Words said in anger and in grief (Show me! Show me!)
Take these stones (Show me!)
Throw something (You'll never find a way to show me!)
We could celebrate (Show me!)
We could drop the bomb (Show me! Show me!)
And it makes no odds whatever side you're on (You'll never find a way to show me!)
Don't duck again, don't hesitate
The glass that holds the very air we breathe (You'll never find a way to show me!)
And you, you show me everything, I can't afford (Show me! Show me!)
Yeah, and you show me everything (Show me! Show me!)
(Show me! Show me!)
(Show me! Show me!)
(Show me! Show me!)
(Show me! Show me!)
