Something about this weary land I won't ever fully understand
But oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
We look left and we look right and we talk throughout the night
Wondering what is wrong or right, until we see the light
We talk into the day and we try to stay awake, but all we really want to say is
O, don't want to run away, oh, I really want to stay
O, don't know if it's cliché hey, oh, just want to show you that I love you
Something about this weary land that pokes and prods at all our plans
But oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
We ask about the rage and we dig into the strange
Wondering what we can arrange when things just have to change
We gather and we cling to unnecessary things, I'm going out on a wing but
O, don't want to run away, oh, I really want to stay, I'm really going to stay
O, don't know if it's cliché hey, oh, just want to show you that I love you
Ohhh, Ohhh
Ohhh, Ohhh
O, I know your mind feels frayed, just say what you need to say
And oh, if there's no words to say, just feel it'll be okay
Cause I'm not going to run away, and I, I really need to stay, I'm really going to stay
Ohhh, Ohhh
Ohhh, Ohhh
The people dance, the people sing, even when the world is hanging on a string
