The Universe Inside Songtext / Lyric

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
