Now that you're older
Taking the time to look
Back over your shoulder
On the days confusion took
Now that you're wiser
Surely you've learned to read it
You should know
No surface shines brighter
Than the light that burns beneath it
Never so sure
We always take more
Though we still don't know what it's for
Now that I've seen you
Stripped to the very core
I know that I need you
Less than I did before
Never so sure
We always take more
Though we still don't know what it's for
Taking the time to look
Back over your shoulder
On the days confusion took
Now that you're wiser
Surely you've learned to read it
You should know
No surface shines brighter
Than the light that burns beneath it
Never so sure
We always take more
Though we still don't know what it's for
Now that I've seen you
Stripped to the very core
I know that I need you
Less than I did before
Never so sure
We always take more
Though we still don't know what it's for

amazing. if you have heard this song, then you will know what i mean. superficiality, that is what this song is about. when you realize that someone is shallow, you see them for what they are for: nothing. if you have been in a relationship like this before, then you know exactly what i am talking about. it takes time to become more aware of how the world and people work. no other comments needed.
