lyrics

If all I am is a bastardized cause, what can we call you? We'll hum along but the words get lost and tossed and tossed around. Knowledge like an ocean, understanding like a child. I'm not even in love with the words that escape my lips, yet there is courage left in my fingertips. And it's hard for me not to think I could be anything but a child again, there are things I could run from. But I'd rather just sleep in, I made a list of things to do and people to see, the stage, the crowd, they memorized every word. They memorized every word you wrote down, late at night when you should be asleep, many years studying the books that say why we can't be alone. Is this a detour in the journey or am I lost at sea? Just keep a place in your home for me, please keep a place in your home for me. If all I am is a sailor's mouth, how do I say what I mean when I mean you're the strength I need? Where was the peace I had that day when you said that you cried with me? Well, is this a detour in the journey or am I lost at sea? Please keep a place in your home for me. I feel like I can stand now, I think that I can speak. You're the song I could never write, but I need to keep singing.
