We're all starving artists
In a world by ourselves
We can't afford our food
Only dust on our shelves
We sit and write our songs
We sit and write our tests
But no one pays for either one
Can't afford our knowledge yet
We can barely feed our mouths
They only feed our minds
And the mind is getting stɾonger
And the mouth is left behind
When we had the time, we didn't have the means
When we got [Fm7]the means, we didn't have the need
To seek out one another, this desperate artist's cry
Searching for [Dm7]our brother, who's time was [Am7]flying by
We can barely feed our mouths
They only feed our minds
And the mind is getting stɾonger
And the mouth is left behind
When I am not around, and [Bm]friends just can't be [Am]found
Someone will be [Am]there, tapping on [C7]your window
When the days are passing by, and [Bm]your money has ɾun dry
And your school's all [Em]out of pie
This is the bridge
Between young and [Bm]old
Between stories that are long [Am]foretold
Between friends and [Bm]family
The difference between you [A7and [Bm]me
This is the bridge
Between them [A]and [Bm]you
Between new things that you [A7never knew
Between the beginning and [Bm]the end
The story of finding a long [Am]lost friend
La la lalala la la
La la lalala la la lalala
La la lalala la la
La la lalala la la lalala
When I am not around, and [Bm]friends just can't be [Am]found
Someone will be [Am]there, tapping on [C7]your window
When the days are passing by, and [Bm]your money has ɾun dry
And your school's all [Em]out of pie
When I am not around, and [Bm]friends just can't be [Am]found
Someone will be [Am]there, tapping on [C7]your window
When the days are passing by, and [Bm]your money has ɾun dry
And your school's all [Em]out of pie
