lyrics

Philosopher

I used to be a philosopher,
‘til it drove me to a state of loneliness.
Then, I ran home as fast as I could to her
and took in my arms the only thing
that I could really miss.
I used to be a philosopher,
‘til I stopped looking for something
that I couldn’t touch.
And god I missed love so much.

And I already know about pain.
And I already know about tough.
And I already know about the mysteries of love.
I don’t need to be a philosopher.

I used to be a philosopher,
‘til I stopped to ask ‘Why do I need to be one?’
Out and searching with my lamenting soul
It’s not a way to live.
Be still, and it will come.
What’s inside you, you gotta give.

And I already know about colors.
And I already know about shades.
And I already know about the meaning of rain.
I don’t need to be a philosopher.

I used to be a philosopher,
‘til I stopped trying to reach a higher order of thinking.
Now, I sit back and smile
And enjoy being a flawed human being.

And I already know about the ticking clocks.
And I already know how money talks.
And I already know about how we all get lost.
I don’t need to be a philosopher to get it right.
To love someone tonight.
To find my way home to her.
