Lyrics
0:25Ten thousand words swarm around my head
0:29Ten million more in books written beneath my bed
0:38I wrote or read them all when searchin' in the swarms
0:43Still can't find out how to hold my hands
0:50And I know you need me in the next room over
0:55But I am stuck in here all paralyzed
1:03For months I got myself in ruts
1:06Too much time spent in mirrors framed in yellow walls
1:16Ain't it like most people I'm no different
1:21We love to talk on things we don't know about
1:29Ain't it like most people I'm no different
1:32We love to talk on things we don't know about
1:53And everyone around me shakes their head in disbelief
1:59And says I'm too caught up
2:06They say young is good and old is fine
2:09And truth is cool but all that matters
2:12Is that you have your good times
2:18But their good times come with prices
2:21And I can't believe it
2:23When I hear the jokes they make
2:31At anyone's expense except their own
2:35Would they laugh if they knew who paid
2:43Ain't it like most people I'm no different
2:47We love to talk on things we don't know about
2:56Ain't it like most people I'm no different
2:59We love to talk on things we don't know about
3:45And after we are through ten years
3:49Making it to be the most of glorious debuts
3:58I'll come back home without my things
4:01'Cause the clothes I wore out there
4:03I will not wear 'round you
4:10And they'll be quick to point out our shortcomings
4:14And how the experts all have had their doubts
4:23Ain't it like most people I'm no different
4:27We love to talk on things we don't know about
4:35Ain't it like most people I'm no different
4:39We love to talk on things we don't know about
4:48Ain't it like most people I'm no different
4:52We love to talk on things we don't know about
5:00Ain't it like most people I'm no different
5:04We love to talk on things we don't know about
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 out 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 that 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 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
