Lyrics
have you ever caught a glimpse of your reflection in the mirror, and wondered if the person that you saw was even you, everyone applauding, it's the perfect presentation, nobody would ever have a clue, have you ever closed your eyes and tried to listen to your heartbeat, it takes you to a place that seems so vast you can't ignore, and all they ever see is only part of the equation, don't they realize you're so much more, there's a universe inside, which no one else can see, a world inside, where i'm alone with me, you can spend a lifetime looking deep in someone's eyes, and never see the universe inside, we live our lives unscreened, we pass like strangers undetected, buying things we do not need to cure a sickness we don't have, and underneath it all there lies a beauty unsuspected, revealed for just a moment when we laugh, i'm scared to show what's underneath, i cover it with makeup, bravery, bravado and the need to be the best, if i showed them what i'm hiding would i handle the rejection, stepping to the light that i possess, there's a universe inside, which no one else can see, a world inside, where i'm alone with me, you can spend a lifetime looking deep in someone's eyes, and never see the universe inside, and as we walk each other home, the terror of the great unknown, just wish that we could see each other shining, that we would never have to be afraid of nightmares or our dreams, and if you want me you know where to find me, in the universe inside, 'cause you must have one too, a world inside, that no one ever knew, i wish i'd noticed but i never took the time, to look beyond the surface and finally see the universe inside, you, inside, you, have you ever caught a glimpse of your reflection in the mirror, and wondered if the person that you saw was even you, everyone applauding, it's the perfect presentation, nobody would ever have a clue, there's a universe inside, that no one ever sees, a world inside, where i'm alone with me, i hope that someday someone looks inside my eyes, and finally sees the universe inside
