We Are A Traveling People

I think it's clear by now that i don't know
Anything at all about anyone else or even me
Yeah we're all on a train, locked into separate cars
Well i want off right now, i'll meet you at
The station when we finally stop
And we can walk around, i'll hold your hand
We'll run away into the streets
We did this once before, don't you think about
All the things we did that made you smile
We haven't used them up yet
Just because your longitude and latitude changed
We're still on the same damn train, this hi-speed rail
And i'd still rather walk any day

I know this book by heart, i read it every single day
It's about a kid i knew, he wrote a poem
On the sun in the summertime
It was in a dream i suppose, and he's never been good
At remembering any of that
Well he went blind one day when he tried to make it out
He stared straight into the sun
Is that the price of love? i don't know!
It's just a book that nobody reads
It doesn't really mean anything, now he's blind?
Well i guess now he dreams all the time
So yeah whatever that's life be careful what you wish for
Blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah, ahaha

Well nobody says what they mean
But everybody says what they mean
Well everyone is trying too damn hard
But nobody knows what they mean

Well i think it's clear by now that you never really
You never really get what you want
Or is it the other way around? you never really
You never really want what you get
Well i got what i wanted back then, so it's all bullshit
You never really want what you keep
The sad things linger too long, we never really
We never really take what they give
Well i'm giving all i got, my love
Is like a cross-country highway, that's right
You can drive it all night long and at the end
You can turn around and drive it again
Heuh!

And nobody says what they mean
But everybody says what they mean
Well everyone is trying too damn hard
But nobody knows what they mean

Well everybody knows what they mean
So everybody says what they mean
And everyone is trying too damn hard
But nobody knows what they mean
