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 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
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

Ten thousand wo rds swarm around my head

Ten million more in b ooks writt en be neath my bed

I wrote or re ad them all w hen searchin’ in the swarms

Still can’t fi nd out how to hold my hands

And I know you need m e in the next room over

But I am s tuck in here all paralyzed

For months I got myself in ruts

Too much time spent in mirrors fr amed 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 ever yone around m e shakes their head in disbelief

And says I’ m too ca ught up

They say yo ung is good and old is fine

And truth is cool but all that matters

Is you have you r good times

But their good times come with prices

And I can’t believe it w hen I hear th e joke s they make

At anyon e’s expense e xcept their own

Would they l augh 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 w e are through ten years

Of making it to be th e most of gl orious debuts

I’ll come bac k home without my things

Cause the clothes I wore out there I will no t wear ’round you

And they’ll be quick to point out our shortcomings

And how the ex perts all have had their doubts
