People, Running

We are just these people
Happy tangled lives
We are only chemical and skin
Barely strapped in
For this air conditioned drive

We are tired of waiting
Still we stand in line
This is all addition by subtraction
A simple chain reaction of the mind

We are just these people running around
And I am in no hurry to figure it out
We are just like old ships running aground
In search of water
In search of water

We are just these people
Such tragic little things
You take your girlfriend to a drug deal
Fall in love and now
She wears a diamond ring

We are tired of waiting
All bandages and strings
Hold you together keep you up
And off you drift in no direction
So it seems

We are just these people running around
And I am in no hurry to figure it out
We are just like old ships running aground
In search of water
In search of water
In search of water

I think we're learning that the answers never come
In search of water
I think I'll stay in here and watch the people run
In search of water
Just watch people run

We are just these people running around
And there's no need to worry, we'll figure it out
We are just these people running
People running around
In search of water
Just watch people run
