lyrics

Sum of Our Parts

It's good to be back in your town,
I know a lot has happened
Since the last time I was around.
But tonight's gonna be just fine,
We've got friends like family,
And your band are playing real tight.

Breathe in the grafitti, the canals,
Pictures from the window,
My mind so full of gaps.
It doesn't make sense,
But we're doing our best.


Find out in het schoolyard,
Tall boys first, smaller boys you better fight smart.
So you learn to be funny, to be fast,
When to be silent, and you know when to react.

Breathe out, the stranger's kind act,
Like the flowers that somehow,
Grow between the tracks.
It doesn't make sense,
But we're doing our best.


I told the world how I felt,
In six inch letters, wrote the words in wet cement.
Then I weaved your name into my flag,
Sailed the seven seas, and I nailed it to my mast

Breathe in your every need,
Your sad, sad songs,
You can leave the singing to me.
It doesn't make sense,
But We're doing our best.

We're more than the sum of our parts,
More than the sum, more than the sum of our parts.
