What You Are (Folsom Field) Lyrics by Dave Matthews Band

What You Are (Folsom Field)

Walk into this room, oh
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, realize what you are

What you've become just as i have
Are you and i so unalike?
I don't hear you just as i am
Afraid if we dance we might die
We'll mock the world, lest they say,
Why don't you know?
only when you give life, oh then you become what you are

The sea is unsparing
We are all drifting away, away from you, i pray for you now
Hoping to God on high is
Like clinging to straws while drowning,
Realize, realize what you are

What you've become just as i have
Are you and i so unalike?
I don't hear you just as i am
Afraid if we dance we might die
So fuck the world, lest they say,
Why don't you know?
Only when you give love, oh then you become what you are

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

What you've become just as i have
Are you and i so unalike?
I don't hear you just as i am
Afraid if we sing we might die
We'll mock the world, lest they say,
Why don't you trust me?
only when you give love, oh then you become what you are.

Why dont trust me?
Trust YOU!!!!
No trusting, trust you!!!!

What you are?
Little bit, little bit on.
What you are?
Never know, never know.
What you are?
I got caught with a smoking gun.
