Lyrics

WHAT YOU BELIEVE
V/1

You tell me that you gonna change the world
My smile knows better than to round that curve
Cause you?re sincere
And I can see it?s not a dare
You?re too innocent to come unprepared

Your enthusiasm may not fade
That?s only refreshing til certain age
When you?ll appear
In resignation or resound
Up on your polemic with no way to get down

Chorus/
It?s what you want
It?s what you need
It?s what you say
It?s what you believe
But I?ve been there before
At the very same door


V/2
You smile cause the writing?s on the wall
I?m melancholy when I see it?s not your scrawl
But that?s okay
The foundation?s all been laid
You had a lot to shovel but you only owned a spade

Life?s logistics and noble ideas
Often can?t coexist in a smaller sphere
Yet you?re content
Philosophies can be lent
And a borrower might buy what you used to rent


Chorus/
It?s what you want
It?s what you need
It?s what you say
It?s what you believe
But I?ve been there before
At the very same door


You?re vehement
Make perfect sense
You?ve got a plan
You?re sure you?ll imple --

Bridge/
I guess I should go on the record
I have no right to my empty lectures
I?m arrested by your total convictions
Your truths they counter all my fictions
Cause I?ve been there before
I never opened the door

V/3
I?m not pulling wisdom, rank or age
So don?t bristle and think I?m brushing you away
Truth be told
I admire you and all you hold
You?re not afraid to date yourself when you get old



Chorus/
It?s what you want
It?s what you need
It?s what you say
It?s what you believe
But I?ve been there before
At the very same door


You?re vehement
Make perfect sense
You?ve got a plan
You?re sure you?ll implement
If I sound dubious
It?s just a matter of course
