Damone – When You Live

Damone – When You Live

Albüm Adı : Out here All Night LP

Written by D. Hengst, N. Leblanc, M. Vazquez, M. Woods

All the lost kisses and runaway tears

Can’t fix what your good mom and dad

Have been saving in pictures for all of these years

And it’s sad

Everything fades to black, yeah

All your cellophane friends play their monologue games

And mock everything that I am

But I don’t let it phase me, ’cause they’re all the same

Don’t be one of them

‘Cause the lights will go down on your show

And as the scenes roll by

There’s something I wanted to say to you

When you live, live with your soul, not with your time

When you love, love with your heart, not with your mind

When you want to be something the world can’t define

Open up your eyes

Accidents happen and confidence fails

But that’s not what I’m trying to say

There’s this look in your eyes that’s been killing me here for days

So as the night drags on

There’s this I’ve been meaning to say to you

When you live, live with your soul, not with your time

When you love, love with your heart, not with your mind

When you want to be something the world can’t define

Open up your eyes

You can’t fake it here

You can’t fake it here

You can try all you want but you’ll break in here

You can laugh it off

Tell your friends I’m soft

You can cry, you can scream but I’ll brush it off

You’re not listening

You’re not listening to anything I’m trying to say

When you live, live with your soul, not with your time

When you love, love with your heart, not with your mind

When you want to be something the world can’t define

Open up your eyes

You can’t fake it here

Open up your eyes
