lyrics

You wonder why
Everyone looks at the sky
Thinking of ways they could fly
Why don’t they ever just try?

You love the sun
So does I guess everyone
But who makes it fun?
Life here’d’ve never begun

Light from the stream
Dancin’ around like a dream
But who says it’s free?
Anything we don’t call ‘me’

If you listen where silence is hung
There’s an infinite choir unsung
Trying to taste their own tongue

What can you do?
What do you do?
What can you do?

What can you do?
What do you do?
What can you do?

Open yourself
Air breathing nobody else
Phones on the shelf
Lonely because of their help

Rhythm unreal
Spins like a counterfeit wheel
Of all of the riches we steal
Can’t trick the way that you feel

You know you do
What can you do?
What can you do?

What can you do?
What do you do?

If you listen where silence is hung
There’s an infinite choir unsung
Trying to taste their own tongue
Trying to taste their own tongue
