The Posies - Believe in Something Other Lyrics

Simple words might influence your view

But I can save your life if you allow me to

Remember the time right before you became

Something too despicable to even name?

I can relate, I went through that stage too

And I hope you're still around when you're 22

('cause) Nothing really matters--but yourself (x2)

Simple words might often miss the point

But here's two words you better not ignore

Do you really believe that any man is an island

Will if you do then you're about to be stranded, man

Nothing...

BRIDGE

Give another person just half a chance

To express himself

It's easy to believe

Believe in something other--than yourself (x2)

You wrote a letter (I)

But I knew better (you)

You can clearly (see)

Just what the effect is

Will you ever (be)

Be together (oh)

Enough to tell me (why)

Why does this have to happen to anyone?

Nothing...

BRIDGE

Simple words are often misconstrued

But occasionally somebody's advice is worth listening to

I've stated my case, now I'll return to my place

But there will come a day when black marks won't erase

Nothing...

BRIDGE

Believe...
