lyrics

Does he know what makes you happy?
Does he know that a blue sky
Can make you cry?
Does he know the way the tree's make you feel
Like an ant in the valley?
Or the way you long so bad to hear
Your mother sigh?
Does he know that sometimes
Your head gets too heavy?
And that you'll have to lay it down
Into the sweat of his palms.
All this time you've been searching beyond yourself.
Everybody has a place
But it shouldn't be in someone else.
All this time you've been searching for definition.
And all of this time using the wrong set of clues.
Does he know the way you can't sleep
Unless your arms are tucked beneath you
In a warm cocoon.
Does he know the way you still like to go
Into your dad's closet.
And touch the big sweaters
Just like a child.
All of this time you've been searching beyond yourself.
Everybody has a place
But it shouldn't be in someone else.
And all of this time you've been searching for definition.
And all of this time using the wrong set of clues.
