Well the songs you sung spiraled
And hung 'round like echoes
Or ripples on a pond

So you circled the globe
Spent a year on the road
Without ever going home

More than a couple of days,
Then youâ??d leave right away
Run to a girl you barely know

But you like how she sings
And you canâ??t help but think
That thereâ??s something that she knows and could teach you

While youâ??re sleeping in that southern state
Where the bars are filled with people
You canâ??t hate

But try as you try
You still canâ??t relate to them
And you drink that whiskey down
As they ask you, â??Are you who you say you are?â?
Are you who you say that you are?
Are you who you say that you are, youâ??
Are you who you say that you are?
Are you who you say you are?
The fact that you canâ??t tell
Makes us like you even more

So now youâ??re trying again
Or just visiting friends
One that just had his heart broke

For the first time in his life
He realized there are times
When you canâ??t make it alone

But now youâ??re giving advice
As if you had the right
To use a word like â??loveâ?

No no, itâ??s a negotiable term
What gets saidâ??s not whatâ??s heard
So itâ??s different then for everyone

But you been hanging â??round
That college town
With yourâ??your new life your new lover

Youâ??ve found and youâ??re keeping her up at night
Bringing her down
Sheâ??ll watch you drink yourself to death
But wonâ??t ask you, â??is this really what you want?â?
â??Is this really what you want?â?
Is this really what is this really what,
Is this really what you want?
Is this really what you want?

Are you sticking with it now because itâ??s all youâ??ve got?
Are you just sticking with it now because itâ??s all youâ??ve got?
Yeah thatâ??s it, I think youâ??re sticking with me now
Because Iâ??m all youâ??ve got
Because thatâ??s all youâ??ve got
