Modest Mouse — People As Places As People lyrics

Lyrics

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 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
They’re the places that you wanted to go Bark at the neighbors
And then bark at the dog
Sniffing the wind
Whimpering for someone to know
But we were the people that we wanted to know
And we’re the places that we wanted 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 the face love
Or somewhere to go
I hardly have places that I need 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
Shouldn’t have to ask
You shouldn’t have to ask
'Cause we are your real place
