stories going round

Nada Surf

We ve been told you hate us
You ve been told we never try
We ve been told you re greedy
You ve been told we always lie

Oh, these days are noisy
It s like I can t hear myself think
This whole town feels thirsty
Another round of doublethink

Fall apart
Fall apart
Fall apart

No one hears you when you yell
It s just stories going round
Where they come from I can t tell
I got my ear to the ground
You re waiting to be seen
You re wanting to count
People sharing out their dreams
You re feeling left out

Everybody prays
Everyone a different way
Some bow their heads
Some sit still like ghosts
Some don t know they pray
They re just bleeding through their days
To the moon and sun
Anything, well anyone

No one hears you when you yell
It s just stories going round
Where they come from I can t tell
I got my ear to the ground
You re waiting to be seen
You re wanting to count
People sharing out their dreams
You re feeling left out

Life is long
It s long enough
Sometimes the seas are calm
Right now the seas are rough

Life is long
It s long enough
Sometimes the seas are calm
Right now the seas are rough

Life is long
It s long enough
Sometimes the seas are calm
Sometimes the seas are rough

Here it comes
Here comes the night
As soft as moonlight
As old as starlight

Here it comes
Here comes the night
As soft as moonlight
As old as starlight

Here comes the night
It s soft
And it s old

Here comes the night
