What About Everything? - Carbon Leaf

Holiday quiet on these streets

Except for some stubborn leaves

That didn't fall with the fall and now they clatter in vain

Holiday sky midnight clear wind is high

Hard to steer

Old muffler rumbles like an old fighter plane

In search of some rest

In search of a break

From a life of tests where something's always at stake

Where something's always so far

What about my broken car

What about my life so far

What about my dream

What about

What about everything

What about aeroplanes

And what about ships that drank the sea

What about

What about the moon and stars

What about soldier battle scars

And all the anger that they eat

I am not in need

Get away and come with me

Come away with me and we'll see

If I was right on that night

That a future was made

Before time takes each year

Like a knife cuts it clear

It's school

Then work and then life that just sharpens the blade

I think about time for fun

I think about time for play

Then I think about being done

With no resume

With no one left to blame

What about fortune and fame

What about your love to obtain

What about the ring

What about

What about everything

What about aeroplanes

And what about ships that drank the sea

What about

What about the moon and stars

What about soldier battle scars

And all the anger that they eat

I am not in need

Holiday quiet on these streets

Except for some reason me

The hometown harbor lights bright

The sailboats clatter in vain

Holiday sky midnight clear

Wind is high on this pier

I find it hard to complain when compared with what about

What about everything

What about aeroplanes

And what about ships that drank the sea

What about

What about the moon and stars

What about soldier battle scars

And all the anger that they eat

What about

What about aliens

What about you and me and

What about gold beneath the sea

What about

What about when buildings fall

What about that midnight phone call

The one that wakes you from your peace

Well I am not I am not I am not in need
