lyrics

Hamp's the only other drummer I could ever find who played just like my brother
in a different life, I think they're the same person
just split into two separate halves
they said I had to be aggressive to get anything I wanted
but I never learned that lesson and I don't think I ever will
I don't think I ever will
they told me:
"say it with your chest, you gotta do your best
and then you'll get everything you ever worked for"
well I know that love is all I ever searched for

the river went and flooded
and it made sure so that no one got just what they wanted
the dog is ready to bite
she's ready to go to war
well you're moving across the country to a brand new town
a brand new life
I wonder if it'll change you
I kinda hope you stay the same
I hope that you find your bliss
you did well on your tests, I know you did your best
I know you'll get everything you ever work for
I know that love is all you ever search for

I did well on my test, but I never tried my best
it makes me wonder what all of this hurt was for
I know that love is all we search for
