Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Do I stress you out?

My sweater is on backwards and inside out

And you say, "How appropriate"

I don't wanna dissect everything today

I don't mean to pick you apart, you see

But I can't help it

[PreChorus]

And there I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off

Slap me with the splintered ruler

And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already

If only I could hunt the hunter

[Chorus]

And all I really want is some patience

A way to calm the angry voice

And all I really want is deliverance

Ah-ha, ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ha-ha

[Verse 2]

Do I wear you out?

You must wonder why I'm relentless and all strung out

I'm consumed by the chill of solitary

I'm like Estella

I like to reel it in and then spit it out

I'm frustrated by your apathy

[PreChorus]

And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land

If only I could meet the maker

And I am fascinated by the spiritual man

I'm humbled by his humble nature, yeah

[Chorus]

And what I wouldn't give to find a soulmate

Someone else to catch this drift

And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred

Ah-ha, ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ha-ha

[Bridge]

Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute

Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while

The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses falling

All around, all around

[Verse 3]

Why are you so petrified of silence?

Here, can you handle this?

Did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines

Or when you think you're gonna die?

Or did you long for the next distraction?

[PreChorus]

And all I need now is intellectual intercourse

A soul to dig the hole much deeper

And I have no concept of time other than it is flying

If only I could kill the killer

[Chorus]

And all I really want is some peace, man

A place to find a common ground

And all I really want is a wavelength

Ah-ha, ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ha-ha

And all I really want is some comfort

A way to get my hands untied

And all I really want is some justice

Ah-ha, ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ha-ha

[Outro]

'Cause all I really want is some patience

A way to calm me down

And all I really want is deliverance

Some common ground

And all I really want is some justice
