Lyrics

[Intro]
Can you turn my guitar on?
[Verse 1]
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't wanna go home right now
[Verse 2]
'Cause all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
So, when sooner or later, it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
[Chorus]
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
[Verse 3]
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
So, when everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive
[Chorus]
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am, hey
I want you, guys, to take this one home, alright?
[Chorus]
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
[Chorus]
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
Yeah!
[Outro]
You guys are the best
This is the best fourth of July ever
Ever, ever, ever!
Give yourself some love
You have no idea how much we love you
Good night!
Thank you for stickin' around
Alright, y'all
Yeah, we're gonna try to do one more for ya, okay?
We got one more
