What You Are (Acoustic)
I'm driving around town

Dressed to draw attention

Hoping everyone will stare

If she don't stand there she think she'll disappear
她想，如果她不够醒目的话 她就会隐没在人海之中
Wish I could hold her, tell her, show her

What she wants is already there

因为星星就是星星 它并不需要努力去闪闪发亮
Water will fall, a bird just knows how to fly

You don't have to tell a flower how to bloom
其实你不需要告诉一朵花怎样盛开
Or light how to fill up a room

Look in the mirror, now that's another story to tell
