who you are

I’d rather be a who than a what. Whatever that means. Also, this crazy party got busted down the street, and there were cars and people everywhere, the cops shouting through megaphones. Some jerk threw his plastic cup and whatever liquid in our yard, and another person (maybe the same one?) had a broken muffler. Carrie told me some guys were fighting out front, but I guess I slept through that. Also, I’m very excited to be playing a show on Groundhog Day.

spent so long in this empty room
you know i always have space for you
sometimes my voice echoes off the walls
and i’m never saying anything

spend a lot of time thinking about nothing
spend our lives amounting to what we’ve been
is it who you are or what you are

spent some time watching the flashing lights
these kids they party and fight all night
their voices and cars echo down the street
but they’re not saying anything

spend a lot of time talking about nothing
spend our lives amounting to what we’ve been
is it who you are or what you are
