Ethan James Young - First Person Lyrics

I've been painting pictures in my brain
With many different colors of paint
But if you could see them
You might find they're beautiful
I've been writing stories convincing
Of characters you never will meet
But if you could meet them
You might find they're wonderful
But

You'll stop having sympathy for those who don't exist
You'll stop displaying artwork that's not on canvases
Just like how I did
Until I met you
Just like how I did
Until I met you

(Before you)
I only had my imagination
(Before you)
I daily lived an earthly damnation
(Before you)
I never actually understood
What it meant to be in love
Because you gave me
A first person point of view

I've been deeply dreaming vividly
Confusing it for reality
Almost getting a false memory
Of many things that could never be
But if you could have been there
You might have felt pleasant too
But

You'll stop feeling happiness once you open your eyes
Deeds loose meaning when there's not someone by your side
Just like how I did
Until I met you
Just like how I did
Until I met you

(Before you)
I only had my imagination
(Before you)
I daily lived an earthly damnation
(Before you)
I never actually understood
What it meant to be in love
Because you gave me
A first person point of view

I've been living life like a video game
You and I both know that it's not the same
Only been a witness to many acts of love
Now I finally get it
Not what I first thought of
Don't care what you give me
For you, who can I be?
(Nothing more is hid)
(Now that I've met you)
Nothing more is hid
Now that I've met you

(Before you)
I only had my imagination
(Before you)
I daily lived an earthly damnation
(Before you)
I never actually understood
What it meant to be in love
Because you gave me
A first person point of view
