Who You Are is a song by Rob Cantor.
History
Who You Are, then titled "You Are", was one of many songs played at their residency shows at Union Hall in February of 2009, but it was only played for the first week of shows. Sometime before or after these shows, they would demo the song for record labels.[1] After recording it with the rest of Good & Evil in fall 2009, it would later resurface at Great Scott in Allston, MA on March 3rd of 2010, the first show of their tour with Jukebox The Ghost and Skybox.[2]
Lyrics
You were the chosen appointment to be who you are I have been sitting and waiting & hoping apart You are in sight, in the air, in the night, in the airplane I am a light in a city your flight overcame How is it all of the people can know who you are? Off in the distance emitting a glow in the dark I see you Not too far Maybe there's something to being the one who you are Holding the thoughts in as you pull away in your car I get to thinking a little too often & All that I want is a little aloft & Maybe it's all too much thinking & not enough heart How is it all of the people can know who you are? Off in the distance emitting a glow in the dark All of it subtle & all of it very bizarre How is it all of the people can know who you are? I see you Not too far Armed to the teeth You will sit at the fireside We are the ones who have chosen the other side It was easy to see You were ready to be & it all falls down Alone, us finding our way to found You rose up and rode away underground (How is it all of the people can know who you are?) Alone, us finding our way to found (Off in the distance emitting a glow in the dark) I see you Not too far

Off in the distance emitting a glow in the dark I see you Not too far Maybe there's something to being the one that you are Holding the thoughts in as you pull away in your car I get to thinking a little too often And all that I want is a little aloft and Maybe it's all too much thinking and not enough heart How is it all of the people can know who you are? Off in the distance emitting a glow in the dark All of it special and all of it very bizarre How is it all of the people can know who you are? You try Not too hard Armed to the teeth You will sit at the fireside We are the ones that have chosen the other side It was easy to see You were ready to be And it all falls down You rose up And rode away underground Alone, us finding our way to found You rose up and rode away underground (How is it all of the people can know who you are?) Alone, us finding our way to found (Off in the distance emitting a glow in the dark) I see you Not too far
