Shimmer Lyrics by Carrington

2019

[Verse 1]
Mm, it's all golden, the shine and shimmer
For those chosen, it feels dimmer
And they say, and they say they're just like us (They're just like us)
And they say, and they say, but I see through them
They never tell you (They never tell you)
Just what it could do (Just what it could do)
They never tell you (They never tell you)
How different life moves (How different life moves)
[Pre-Chorus]
Life don't feel the same no more (Same no more)
Better be careful what you wish for (Better be careful)
'Cause the devil's in the details (Details)
Lord, I don't know it very well
Baby, you, you, you, you, hm
[Chorus]
They gon' tell you 'bout the lights
They gon' tell you 'bout the stardom (Mm)
They gon' sell you on the height
Cuttin' deals and makin' bargains (Baby, yeah-yeah)
See, they're playin' with your life
But to them, it's just an auction
Give you everything you want
But you never had an option (Never had an option)
[Post-Chorus]
If I could do it all again
I'd paint the sky with a lot more color (Too many colors)
Believe me, these are not your friends
Try to make you feel small, so they can be taller
[Verse 2]
'Cause I can see it now
I can see you standin' tall on mountain tops
Screamin' loud as you can
Just saying everything that you wear so proud
Everybody who has told you what to do
You know yourself now
[Chorus]
They gon' tell you 'bout the lights
They gon' tell you 'bout the stardom (Mm)
They gon' sell you on the height
Cuttin' deals and makin' bargains (Baby, yeah-yeah)
See, they're playin' with your life
But to them, it's just an auction (Mm)
Give you everything you want
But you never had an option (Never had an option)
[Post-Chorus]
If I could do it all again
I'd paint the sky with a lot more color (Too many colors)
Believe me, these are not your friends
Try to make you feel small, so they can be taller
[Outro]
It's all golden, the shine and shimmer
