give me a window to your world
and I'll give you the sound
of my voice.
autocorrected, autotuned.
filtered and cut
to sound just right.
just right.
cause I only see
what you want
me to see.
and you only hear
what I want
you to hear.
you only see
what I want
you to see.
and I only hear
what you want
me to hear
through my connection baby.
show me your flaws
show me a scar.
anything to prove
you're real.
I'll give you something
in return.
we're only human after all
after all.
but I only see
what you want
me to see.
(for me to see.)
and you only hear
what I want
you to hear.
(you to hear.)
you only see
(you only see)
what I want
(what I want)
you to see.
(you to see.)
and I only hear
(and I only hear)
what you want
(what you want)
me to hear.
(me to hear.)
how do I connect with you
when I only know
what you want me to know?
how can you connect with me
when you only see
what I want you to see?
and through all the static that remains
how do I even know what's real?
and through all this static that remains
how do ya even know I'm real?
I hope that we can make it
if we all work together.
I think that we might make i
if we all work together.
I don't know if we can make it
we'll have to work together.
but I think that we might make it
if we all work together.
