Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't wanna give, don't wanna steal
Don't wanna be anything I'm not
You take answers, I give questions
Like some rollin' monologue
[Verse 2]
Wanna be the one to say that today could be the day
A day to believe in what you know is what you know
[Verse 3]
I will take you as you are, please accept me as I am
Find your lonely life design
Know it's above you, I know it's below me
[Verse 4]
Don't wanna live life in your shoes, I don't feel I know the way
Feelin' you, givin' me directions I don't need
Up and up and round we go, first it's fast and then we're slow
Could you connect with my intellect?
[Verse 5]
I won't take you as you are, please don't take me as I am
Find your lonely life bizarre
You'll see this in love, you'll see this in life
[Verse 6]
For an all year round reception, for a love with no connection
Knowin' you, knowin' my ignorance to more than life
Know it's above you, I know it's below me
[Verse 7]
I will take you as you are, please accept me as I am
Find your lonely life bizarre
Know it's above you, I know it's below me
I will take you as you are, please accept me as I am
There'll be something in the wind
To show us we're right and tell us we're wrong
I want to move on
