All I wanna say are the only words
with any meaning, yeah
And I feel that way even though
there's some who feel nothing at all
But we're not like that and you know
and you know we got our reasons, yeah
Never been like that 'cause there ain't no safety
where they sink and so

All I wanna say are the only words
with any meaning, yeah
And I feel that way
even though there's some who feel nothing at all
But we're not like that and you know
and you know we got our reasons, yeah
Never been like that
'cause there ain't no safety where they sink and so

Don't let 'em shake you up so easy, no
They'll never shake us off so easy, oh
All I wanna say are the only words
with any meaning, yeah
And I'll be that way till the light goes
Light goes, light goes

So familiar with the abstract
Ever out of reach and the pattern of it all
From the colors and the cast-outs to the unknown
I could never turn it off

I kept up with the verses in my head
Running right along beside 'em all day
At some point, well I found myself wondering
if I was even running or just
Running away

I wanna live an honest life
Wanna make myself right for whatever's gonna come
I see no purpose in avoiding the struggle inside
Like it isn't going on

Some say that you're probably better off
So ignore it anytime that you can
But how it is we'd be better off for it
Really, I don't understand, I won't ever understand
