Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We bitch and we fight

Diss each other on sight

But this thing we do

These times you get

Rain or shine or stormy weather

This thing we do

[Verse 2]

With world-weary grace

We've taken our places

We could curse it or nurse it

And give it a name

Or stay home by the fire

Failed by desire

Stoking the flames

But we're here for the ride

[Verse 3]

It's louder than words

This thing that we do

Louder than words

The way it unfurls

It's louder than words

The sum of our parts

The beat of our hearts

Is louder than words

Louder than words

[Verse 4]

The strings bend and slide

As the hours fly by

An old old pair of shoes, your favorite blues

Gonna tap out the rhythm

Let's go with the flow

Wherever it goes

We're more than alive

[Verse 5]

It's louder than words

This thing we do

Louder than words

The way it unfurls

It's louder than words

The sum of our parts

The beat of our hearts

Is louder than words

[Verse 6]

Louder than words

This thing they call soul

Is there with a pulse

Louder than words

Louder than words
