|
Well, the songs you sung spiraled and hung |
|
'Round like echoes or ripples on a pond |
|
And so you circled the globe, spent a year on the road |
|
Without ever going home |
|
More than a couple of days then you leave right away |
|
Run to a girl you barely know |
|
But you like how she sings and you can't help but think |
|
That there's something that she knows and could teach you |
|
You're sleeping in that Southern State |
|
Where the the bars are filled with people you can't hate |
|
But try as you try, you still can't relate to them |
|
You drink that whiskey down as they ask you |
|
"Are you who you say you are?" |
|
Are you who you say that you are? |
|
Are you who you say that you are, you who? |
|
Are you who you say that you are? |
|
Are you who you say you are? |
|
The fact that we can't tell, makes us like you even more |
|
So now you're trying again or just visiting friends |
|
One had just had his heart broke |
|
For the first time in his life, he realized there's times |
|
You can't make it alone |
|
But now you're giving advices as if you had the right |
|
To use a word like love |
|
No, it's a negotiable term, what gets said's not what's heard |
|
So it's different then for everyone |
|
But you're still hanging around that college town |
|
With your new life, your new lover you found |
|
And you are keeping her up at night, bringing her down |
|
She'll watch you drink yourself to death but won't ask you |
|
"Is this really what you want?" |
|
Is this really what you want? |
|
Is this really what you, is this what? |
|
Is this really what you want? |
|
Is it really what you want? |
|
Are you just sticking with it now 'cause it's all you got? |
|
Are you just sticking with it now 'cause it's all you got? |
|
I said, I think you're sticking with me now |
|
'Cause I'm all you got, God no, I'm all you got, God no, God no, no |
