Ten Thousand Words

Lyrics

Ten thousand words swarm around my head
 Ten million more in books written beneath my bed
 ♪
 I wrote or read them all when searchin' in the swarms
 Still can't find how to hold my hands
 ♪
 And I know you need me in the next room over
 But I am stuck in here all paralyzed
 ♪
 For months I got myself in ruts
 Too much time spent in mirrors framed in yellow walls
 ♪
 Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
 We love to talk on things we don't know about
 ♪
 Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
 We love to talk on things we don't know about
 ♪
 And everyone around me shakes their head in disbelief
 And says I'm too caught up
 
 They say young is good and old is fine
 And truth is cool but all that matters
 Is you have your good times
 But their good times come with prices
 And I can't believe it when I hear the jokes they make
 ♪
 At anyone's expense except their own
 Would they laugh if they knew who paid?
 ♪
 Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
 We love to talk on things we don't know about
 ♪
 Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
 We love to talk on things we don't know about
 ♪
 And after we are through ten years
 Of making it to be the most of glorious debuts
 
 I'll come back home without my things
 'Cause the clothes I wore out there I will not wear 'round you
 ♪
 And they'll be quick to point out our shortcomings
 And how the experts all have had their doubts
 ♪
 Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
 We love to talk on things we don't know about
 ♪
 Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
 We love to talk on things we don't know about
 ♪
 Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
 We love to talk on things we don't know about
 ♪
 Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
 We love to talk on things we don't know about
