People As Places As People

To answer a question, it'll probably take more
 If you're already there, well, you probably don't know
 Well, we were the people that we wanted to know
 And we're the places that we wanted to go
 It's hard to get hold of and hard to let go
 Always something we look for from the day we were born
 Instead, we're the people that we wanted to know
 And we're the places that we wanted to go
 And we're the places that we wanted to go
 And we're the places that we wanted to go

 Always asking a question and I don't want to know
 Like the wind across strings that had finally let go
 And the people you love, but you didn't quite know
 And they're the places that you wanted to go
 Bark at the neighbors and then bark at the dog
 He's sniffling and Whimpering for someone to know
 But we were the people that we wanted to know
 And we're the places that we wanted to go
 Yeah, we're the places that we wanted to go
 Yeah, we're the places that we wanted to go

 It was not the intention, but we let it all go
 Well, it messed up the function and sure fucked up the flow
 I hardly have people that I needed to know
 'Cause you're the people that I wanted to know
 All this scrambling around, hunting high and then low
 Looking for a baseline or somewhere to go
 I hardly have places that I needed to go
 'Cause you're the places that I wanted to go
 Yeah, you're the places that we wanted to go
 Yeah, you're the places that we wanted to go

 (We're the people that we wanted to know)
 You shouldn't have to ask
 You shouldn't have to ask
 'Cause we are your ripcord (pow!)
