In case you are interested, that sticker was placed on the
car after convincing the owner to allow it. Some time afterwards, it was
realised that the sticker could not be removed without also removing the paint.
Thankfully, the band were many kilometres away when they realised this.

You See What I See?".

Lyrics
In your neighbour's garden - the grass is greener
Sweet perfection is only a step away
Longing for it all, your head is filled with wonder
Open your eyes - you could believe
Won't you tell me - why are you waiting?
When you already know it's yours for the taking
Only you can change the way you live
These words are nothing to the ties that bind you
They echo the isolation that lies behind you
As you dream of a world
That was lost before you were born
While the light of day remains a
mystery
Won't you tell me - why are you waiting?
When you already know it's yours for the taking
Only you can change the way you live
The way you live
They say in this life there are two fools of a kind
There are those who love and
There are those who pay love no mind
Now I'm looking at you, and you're looking back at me
And there's nothing in between us, but what we both believe
So won't you tell me - why are you waiting?
When you already know it's yours for the taking
Only you can change the way you live
So won't you tell me - why are you waiting?
When you already know it's yours for the taking
Only you can change the way you live
The way you live
