Modest Mouse - People As Places As People 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
