Chorus and all italicized lyrics taken from the song "The Songs That We Sing" by Charlotte Gainsbourg from the album "5:55". I take no credit for the writing of the italicized lyrics below. I'd definitely reccomend you check the track out.

The Songs That We Sing (To You, From Me):
Walking down the street while feeling upbeat is unde
It’s the most content knowledge in the world
Knowing you made it
But the questions don’t go away just because you answer them

Chorus:
These songs that we sing
Do they mean anything
To the people we’re singing them to
People like you


Main street is never crowded and I secretly like that
3 in the morning, middle of the street
Hands stretched above a head, showing the heaven path
Like the wind to your back is plush while my footrest is the stained concrete
Surviving the 9-to-5 with a smile
A feat
_____'s with sober walks after
Priceless
To me

Chorus:
These songs that we sing
Do they mean anything
To the people we’re singing them to
People like you


What can be said about the songs we sing
We stop once in a while, so they can’t be our everything

And if everything in the world could be bought for a dollar
And I had one in my hand
I wouldn’t have enough I’d need eight cents for your expense
For your tax
So I’d have to take you back
And wonder what would have happened if I had been more specific
Whatever my money spoke, I meant it
And I’ll see you again in the fall….

And I doubt I’ll ever know that I can say
That the songs that I write mean something to anyone but me
But it works
Albeit a graveyard shift
I fall back on a waterbed that hasn’t shed a drip
And not because I’ve been gentle with it
These songs that we sing
At the very least
They mean something to me

These songs that we sing
Do they mean anything
To the people we’re singing them to?

Tonight they do
