Be Something

If I talked a mile a minute
Would you still be standing knee deep in it?
And if I stepped across the line
Would I find you there on the other side?

Well it’s hard to be nothing at all
’cause we all wanna be something
And it’s hard to be seen as nothing at all
’cause we’re all trying to be something
Bigger than ourselves

If I talked in circles now
Would you follow me ’round and ’round?
And if I stepped outside my comfort zone
Would you find some common ground?

Well it’s hard to be nothing at all
’cause we all wanna be something
And it’s hard to be seen as nothing at all
’cause we’re all trying to be something
Bigger than ourselves

Well I don’t even know why you ask why
And I don’t even know why I try sometimes

If I talked back or threw my hands up in the air
Would you just stare?
If I stepped beyond myself and became someone else
Would you care?

Well it’s hard to be nothing at all
’cause we all wanna be something
And it’s hard to be seen as nothing at all
’cause we’re all trying to be something
Bigger than ourselves
