People As Places As People

To answer a question, it'll probably take more
If you're already there, well, you probably don't know
Well, we were the people that we wanted to know
And we're the places that we wanted to go
It's hard to get hold of and hard to let go
Always something we look for from the day we were born
Instead, we're the people that we wanted to know

And we're the places that we wanted to go
And we're the places that we wanted to go
And we're the places that we wanted to go

Always asking a question and I don't want to know
Like the wind across strings that had finally let go
And the people you love, but you didn't quite know
And they're the places that you wanted to go
Bark at the neighbors and then bark at the dog
He's sniffling and Whimpering for someone to know
But we were the people that we wanted to know

And we're the places that we wanted to go
Yeah, we're the places that we wanted to go
Yeah, we're the places that we wanted to go

It was not the intention, but we let it all go
Well, it messed up the function and sure fucked up the flow
I hardly have people that I needed to know
'Cause you're the people that I wanted to know
All this scrambling around, hunting high and then low
Looking for a baseline or somewhere to go
I hardly have places that I needed to go

'Cause you're the places that I wanted to go
Yeah, you're the places that we wanted to go
Yeah, you're the places that we wanted to go

(We're the people that we wanted to know)
You shouldn't have to ask
You shouldn't have to ask
'Cause we are your ripcord (pow!)
