Highlights - Matt Hammitt

I can see your shadow

Dancing around me

In the daylight

In the good times

And that magic hour

Those wild flowers

Make us feel like

We just might

Be invincible forever

Impossibly untethered

Perfectly sewn together

Let the sun go down

Let the shadows lie

Let me see your beauty

Through unfiltered eyes

Look into my face

See the scars of time

It’ll never be picture perfect

But I want real life

Not just the highlights

I want more than the highlights

Those silver linings

We always find 'em

Shining brightest around

The grayest clouds

Tell me how we gonna know the measure

How strong we really are together

If we’re never worn or weathered

Let the sun go down

Let the shadows lie

Let me see your beauty

Through unfiltered eyes

Look into my face

See the scars of time

It’ll never be picture perfect

But I want real life

Not just the highlights

No, I want more than the highlights

Don’t hide those crooked lines

Don’t filter out the light

The greatest beauty shines

In the face of time

Don’t cover up the heart

Don’t make us look like stars

Those less than perfect parts

Make us who we are

Let the sun go down

Let the shadows lie

Let me see your beauty

Through unfiltered eyes

Look into my face

See the scars of time

It’ll never be picture perfect

But I want real life

Not just the highlights, no

I want more than the highlights
