People as Places as People
Modest Mouse
We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank
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 looked 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
Yeah we're the places that we wanted to go
Always asking a question
And I don't wanna know
Like the wind across strings
That 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 door
Been sniffin' and whimperin' 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's not the intention
But we let it all go
Well it messed up the function
And it fucked up the flow
I hardly have people that I needed to know
'Cuz you're the people that I wanted to know
All this scrambling 'round
Hunting high and then low
Looking for a face, love
Or somewhere to go
I hardly have places that I needed to go
'Cuz 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
