Stray - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

You don't have to tell me what you're still looking for

Two arms to hold you and a voice to say

"That's alright, you can spend the night"

Well, come around

'Cause I've been there

And these are the notes from the overground

The World Saxophone Quartet, the smell of violets

And a passing friend won't let you down

Listen to the rhythm of the rain falling

Say you're gonna change your foolish ways

Make a promise, break a promise in the same day

It goes the same way, anyway

So you pray for silence

And its sadness and its violence

To be washed away

One day

I understand the state you've reached of being unreachable

Somewhere out there where only the music plays

Loneliness and being alone don't always mean the same

Who needs the movie?

You can see the music anyway

A Sketch For Winter, a Burgundy and sanctuary

Can make me stay

When I feel that way

And if my words don't say the things

That they were meant to say

And if confusion comes and carries all my words away

And if you still don't understand

I wanna hold your hand

And look at it this way...

Someone singing's better than the war they're winning

Winging its way

Your way or my way

Any day, anyway
