lyrics

Sing something I know
Said a voice behind a screen aglow
The waitress claimed we once
Made love in New Mexico

I wanted to get up and go
But I did not so I painted
The walls of my mind real slow
Stepped out on the street
Looking for answers
Tried to move my feet
With the conviction of a dancer

And we all just wanna know
Is pining as good as having
Am I more present with the pining
Than with what I’ve got

Moments of passing bliss
Crashing waves, a wink, a kiss
Why think about that
When you can think about this?

Oh, a gift! For you something I made
Like a roadside child selling lemonade
Sweet and cold, no not gold,
More like a feeling out on parole

And we all just wanna know
Is pining as good as having
Am I more present with the pining
Than with what I’ve got

Sing something we all know
The one about the king
On the old dirt road
Singing with the band
As he finds his way back home

We all just wanna know
Is pining as good as having
Am I more present with the pining
Than with what I’ve got
