Lyrics

Blue waters, blue eyes color me
If any could come this close, i'd let them see
In and out again, I play'em one more song
It's all they really want, and who's to say that's wrong?

Ain't that what you want them to know?
All they get of you is what they get out of the show
The rest is mine, I guess, the beauty and the mess..
To hide

I pull myself under and down I go again
It's just a little bit hard letting them in
Looking at the world through elusive eyes
I hide in the spotlight it's a great disguise

Ain't that what you want them to know?
All they all they get of you is what they get out of the show
The rest is mine, I guess, the beauty and the mess..
To hide

Behind the melody the words don't mean a thing
But every tune I play would give whatever i've not said away..
Behind the melody the words don't mean a thing
But every tune I play would give whatever i've not said away..
Behind the melody the words don't mean a thing
But every tune I play would give whatever i've not said away..

Ain't that what you want them to know?
All they, all they get of you is all, they get of you is what they get out of the show
The rest is mine I guess the beauty and the mess

Ain't that what you want them to know?
All they get of you is what they get out of the show
The rest is mine I guess the beauty and the mess
The rest, the rest is mine I guess the beauty and the mess..
The rest, the rest is mine I guess, I guess the beauty and the mess..
To hide
