Avett Brothers, The - Ten Thousand Words lyrics

rate me

<br>

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