If you think you're throwing words to the wise, 
the first thing that you ever felt, inside and under your belt 
To a place that smothers children 
Cuts the space between two lives 
I've seen you working, wasted and gray 
You've got a delicate heart, and listen, you would be smart 
To keep yourself in a world of mothers, sisters, daughters and wives 
Listen, I've come to rock this boat 
The take and giving means no room for the living 
And some of you think it loves and lovers 
Death in one corner leaves no space in the other
I know that when it's over we'll be holding one another 
We only ever wanted to feel real 
Two years of tension only teaches you to fight 
We only ever wanted to try 
And if you see this world as ugly and thin 
Then you'll be so cruel to the touch, you'll lose the body you're in 
To a land of angry soil, that swallows boys and coughs up men
I've seen you taste the salt of your tears 
You always stop when you start, and listen, you would be smart 
To keep yourself in a world of mothers, sisters, daughters and wives 
Listen, I've come to rock this boat 
The take and giving means no room for the living 
And some of you think it loves and lovers 
Death in one corner leaves no space in the other 
I know that when it's over we'll be holding one another 
We only ever wanted to feel real
Two years of tension only teaches you to fight 
We only ever wanted to try 
I'll raise a glass to being no one else's fool 
Raise some question to the rule, who says you'd have to lose a love to find one 
Take the things you don't love, spread them out in the sun
Two futures melt into one 
Who says you have to lose a love to find one 
I know that when it's over we'll be holding one another 
We only ever wanted to feel real
Two years of tension only teaches you to fight 
We only ever wanted to try 
I'm around, I'm around, I'm ok, I'm ok 
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm the same, I'm the same 
We are, yeah, we are, we are 
We are just looking for something 
With our hands, and our fists, muscles, skin, thumb, and bone 
We never grew up, we were cut from the stone 
That holds you, body and soul 
We are all just looking for something
