Standard (EADGBE)

Well the songs you sung spiraled

And hung 'round like echoes

Or ripples on a pond

So you circled the globe

Spent a year on the road

Without ever going home

More than a couple of days,

Then you’d leave right away

Run to a girl you barely know

But you like how she sings

And you can’t help but think

That there’s something that she knows and could teach you

While you’re sleeping in that southern state

Where the bars are filled with people you can’t hate

But try as you try

You still can’t relate to them

And you drink that whiskey down

As they ask you,

“Are you who you say you are?”

Are you who you say that you are?

Are you who you say that you are, you

Are you who you say that you are?

Are you who you say you are?

The fact that you can’t tell makes us like you even more

So now you’re trying again

Or just visiting friends

One had just had his heart broke

For the first time in his life

He realized there are times

When you can’t make it alone

But now you’re giving advice

As if you had the right

To use a word like “love”

It’s a negotiable term

What gets said’s not what’s heard

So it’s different then for everyone

But you're still hanging ‘round that college town

With your…your new life your new lover you’ve found

And you’re keeping her up at night, bringing her down

She’ll watch you drink yourself to death

But won’t ask you,

“is this really what you want?”

Is this really what you want?

Is this really what you is this what...

Is this really what you want?

Is this really what you want?

Are you just sticking with it now because it’s all you’ve got?

Are you just sticking with it now because it’s all you’ve got?

Yeah that’s it, I think you’re sticking with me now

Because I’m all you’ve got

, , , until end over...

go-ot, no...i'm all you go-ot, go-ot no, go-ot no...

ooo, that Conor eh?
