Blues Traveler - Battle of Someone текст песни

Music & lyrics: john popper

Well I love no one and I dont care who knows

Dont care if youre far away

Dont give a damn if youre close

Im the vacant distraction of a broken old man

I lack shape or color

Not even gray or even tan

Id hate all I see but it makes me too tired

Im much more at home when left uninspired

So damn me to hell and resist if you must

But lower your eyes once and Ill emerge from the dust

For I am nothing

Yes I am nothing

Yes I am nothing

And I love no one

Well I love everyone I am filled with delight

I understand all your feelings I dont see from wrong or right

Im the look in your eyes when youre telling the truth

Im the wisdom of age and the beauty of youth

I am shape substance color darkest black palest white

Speckled gond ringing mirror sharp soft and bright

Im rage passion laughter and the need to know why

Come sample all my riches Im pure stimuli

For I am everything

Yes I am everything

Yes I am everything

And I love everyone

Well I can only love someone I am just a person

My father loved my mother and I am her son

The preceding verses are the halves of my soul

Im just the battlefield and that is my role

Theres a tug of war between what I can and cant feel

The inevitable compromise determines the real

The equation the reason for my being here

The struggle resulting in my invention of the tear

For Im only something

Yes Im only something

Yes Im only something

And I can only love someone

And its the best I can do

Its the very best I can do

Youre probably someone too

So perhaps I love you

Perhaps youll love me too

Perhaps youll love me too

Perhaps youll love me too
