lyrics

Tell me what you see
Oh show me what you feel
All I’m asking for is something real
Something real

I’m watching you, watching me
What’s underneath behind the screen
I’m watching you, watching me

My lips they’ll part for you
But only to speak the truth
All I’m asking for is something true
Something true

I’m watching you, watching me
What’s underneath, behind the screen
I’m watching you, watching me
What’s underneath behind the screen
I’m watching you, watching me

We’re dancing in this shallow pool of glass
The shadow of you, in the shadow of us
We could be playing in thick blades of grass
No more shade, only shapes and colourful light
Shadow, shadow, show your face

I’m watching you, watching me
What’s underneath, behind the screen
I’m watching you, watching me
What’s underneath, behind the screen
I’m watching you watching me
