In Other Words - Ben Kweller

another night slips away 
in other words i should say 
there are no words he should say 
there are no words 

in his eyes i see the fear 
that only time could disappear 
if only time could re-appear 
now’s the time 

somethin’ to take it away to take it away to take it 
don’t let it stay don’t let it stay don’t let it 

the butterflies are passive aggressive
and put their problems on the shelf but they’re beautiful 
and he’ll realize the only thing that's real are the kids that kid themselves
and the demise of the beautiful 
what is beautiful? 

the multi-life is better than 
the one we’re in the one we knew 
cause everyone is seein’ through everyone 

they’re steppin’ on 
his gold terrain 
he’s movin’ on with bold refrain 
his blatently old campaign 
is movin’ on 

somethin’ to take it away to take it away to take it 
don’t let it stay don’t let it stay don’t let it 

the butterflies are passive aggressive
and put their problems on the shelf but they’re beautiful 
he’ll realize the only thing thats real are the kids that kid themselves
and the demise of the beautiful 
what is beautiful? 

what can’t stay goes away 

it starts stopping when it stops stopping
