Idlewild - (I Am) What I Am Not Lyrics

Calling places collecting careless
Sentences I write them down so I ignore them
You should too sing your every word

Calling what you can't surrender
The only way to really learn the alphabet
Made up words could never use them all

If all this wisdom is true
Then I tell it
Could it really have come from you

Then I am what I am not
I am what I am not
Must be something more than
If I had just a thought I know

Faster than a destination
Of knowing where you really are
Is where you'll always be
This is where you can

And happiness did it happen
Sooner than the time it cost
To run from the mistakes that I saw you do

If all this wisdom is true
Then I tell it
Could it really have come from you

Then I am what I am not
I am what I am not
So it must be something more than
I am what I am not
Is this nothing more than
I am what I am not
I am what I am not
There must be something more than
If I am what I am not

Then I am what I am not
I am what I am not
There must be something more than
I am what I am not
I know there's nothing more than
I am what I am not
I am what I am not
I guess there's nothing more than
If I am what I am not
