I don't need all your theories to study the way that I feel
'Cause why would I give it the time if I already know that it's real?
They can give you applause for the way that your words come alive
But perfect silence is all I could want when I stare at the sky

I know better than you
Those stars were meant for naked eyes
I've got nothing to prove
Your charts can't feel that feeling
All your words, they make me sick
You wouldn't know God if he was there in front of you
You don't know what to do, do you?
When you look up at the night
You need to crawl back inside
So you can know how to feel
Go read that book you're reading!
Let the distance take you back
Can't you feel the whole world in front of you?
Or you don't know what that's like, do you?

Well this is the truth!

You don't seem like the type who would give it all up for a night
But I've been lied to before
Is there really nothing left to try?
So get out of your head
And just wander outside
Try your best to hear nothing

I know better than you
Those stars were meant for naked eyes
I've got nothing to prove
Your charts can't feel that feeling
All your words, they make me sick
You wouldn't know God if he was there in front of you
You don't know what to do, do you?
When you look up at the night
You need to crawl back inside
So you can know how to feel
Go read that book you're reading!
Let the distance take you back
Can't you feel the whole world in front of you?
Or you don't know what that's like, do you?
