To answer a question it'll probably take more
If you're already there well then 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
Yeah 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 base line 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
You're the people that we wanted to know
You shouldn't have to ask
You shouldn't have to ask
Cause we are your real place
