Songs when they're true
Are all dedicated to you
And this invisible world I choose to live in.
And if you believe that
Then now I understand
Why words mean so much to you —
They'll never be about you.
Maybe you're young without youth
Or maybe you're old without knowing anything's true;
I think you're young without youth.
Then you contract the American dream
You'll never look up once
You've contracted American dreams
I require you to stop and look up.
Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world.
Constantly searching to find something new
But what will you find when you think that nothing's true?
Maybe it's that nothing is new.
So you let me hear songs that were written all about you
The good songs weren't written for you;
They'll never be about you.
Then you contract the American dream
You'll never look up once.
You've contracted American dreams
You'll never look up once —
So don't look up
Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world.
Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world.
And I won't tell you what this means
'Cos you already know.
And I won't tell you what this means
'Cos you already know.
So sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world.
You came along, and found the weak spot
That you've always wanted.
Let yourself be everything
That you've always wanted.
It doesn't have to be so decided
If you've always wanted.
No need for explanations
You've always wanted.
You'll find what you find
When you find there's nothing.
You'll find what you find
When you find there's nothing.
