Well the songs you sung spiraled

And hung 'round like echoes

Or ripples on a pond



So you circled the globe

Spent a year on the road

Without ever going home



More than a couple of days,

Then youd leave right away

Run to a girl you barely know



But you like how she sings

And you cant help but think

That theres something that she knows and could teach you



While youre sleeping in that southern state

Where the bars are filled with people

You cant hate



But try as you try

You still cant relate to them

And 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

Are you who you say that you are?

Are you who you say you are?

The fact that you cant tell

Makes us like you even more



So now youre trying again

Or just visiting friends

One that just had his heart broke



For the first time in his life

He realized there are times

When you cant make it alone



But now youre giving advice

As if you had the right

To use a word like love



No no, its a negotiable term

What gets saids not whats heard

So its different then for everyone



But you been hanging round

That college town

With youryour new life your new lover



Youve found and youre keeping her up at night

Bringing her down

Shell watch you drink yourself to death

But wont ask you, is this really what you want?

Is this really what you want?

Is this really what is this really what,

Is this really what you want?

Is this really what you want?



Are you sticking with it now because its all youve got?

Are you just sticking with
