Lyrics for The World at Large by Modest Mouse
Songwriters: Gallucci, Dann; Judy, Eric; Brock, Isaac
Got to the door and again, I couldn't stop
Outside, water like air was great
I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast
Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand
I didn't know what I had that day
Well uh uh baby I ain't got no plan
Did I want love? Did I need to know?
Walk a little farther to another plane
The days get shorter and the nights get cold
I still haven't gotten anywhere that I want
I move on to another day
The days get longer and the nights smell green
You don't know where and you don't know when
My thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth
Work a little harder, work another way
We'll float on maybe would you understand?
Walked on off to another spot
I like the autumn but this place is getting old
But my thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth
Adding their breeze to the summer nights
But you still got your words and you got your friends
Walked away to another plane
You said that you did, but you didn't understand
To a whole new town with a whole new way
Why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow?
I know that starting over is not what life's about
Went to the porch to have a thought
It might not be a lot but I feel like I'm making the most
Gonna float on maybe would you understand?
I like songs about drifters, books about the same
The moths beat themselves to death against the lights
Walk along to another day
We'll float on maybe would you understand?
I guess it's not surprising but it's spring and I should leave
They both seem to make me feel a little less insane
