Modest Mouse - The World at Large lyrics

Ice age heat wave, can't complain
If the world's at large, why should I remain?
Walked away to another plan
Gonna find another place
Maybe one I can stand
I move on to another day
To a whole new town with a whole new way
Went to the porch to have a thought
Got to the door, and again, I couldn't stop
You don't know where and you don't know when
But, you've still got your words
And you've got your friends
Walk along to another day
Work a little harder, work another way
Well uh uh, baby, I ain't got no plan
Well I float on, maybe would you understand?
Gonna float on, maybe would you understand?
Well I float on, maybe would you understand?

The days get shorter and the nights get cold
I like the autumn but this
Place is getting old
I pack up my belongings and
I head for the coast it might not be a lot
But I feel like I'm making the most
The days get longer and
The nights smell green
I guess it's not surprising
But it's spring and I should leave
I like songs about drifters
Books about the same
They both seem to make me
Feel a little less insane
Walked on off to another spot
I still haven't gotten anywhere that I want
Did I want love? Did I need to know?
Why does it always feel like
I'm caught in an undertow?

The moths beat themselves to
Death against the lights
Adding their breeze to the summer nights
Outside, water, like air, was gray
I didn't know what I had that day
Walk a little farther to another plan
You said that you did
But you didn't understand
I know that starting over's
Not what life's about
But my thoughts were so loud
I couldn't hear my mouth
My thoughts were so loud I
Couldn't hear my mouth
My thoughts were so loud
