To anCswer a qAmuestion, it'll prFobably take mAmore
If you're alrCeady thAmere, well, you prFobably don't Amknow
Well, Cwe we're the Ampeople that we wanted to Gknow
And we're the pFlaces that we wanted to Amgo
It's hCard to get hAmold of and hFard to let Amgo
Always soCmething we Amlook for from the dFay we were Amborn
InstCead we're the peoAmple that we wanted to knoGw
And we're the pFlaces that we wanted to gGo
[Chorus]
Yeah, we're the pFlaces that we wanted to gGo
Yeah, we're the pFlaces that we wanted to gAmo

Always asCking a quAmestion and I dFon't want to kAmnow
Like the wCind across stAmrings that had fFinally let Amgo
And the peCople you lAmove but you didn't quite knGow
They're the plFaces that you wanted to goAm  
BaCrk at the neiAmghbors and then bFark at the Amdog
SnCiffling and Amwhimpering for someonFe to knowAm  
But Cwe we're the Ampeople that we wanted to knGow
And we're the pFlaces that we wanted to gGo

It was not the intention, but we let it all go
N.C.
Well, it messed up the function and sure fucked up the flow
I hardly have people that I needed to knowG  
Cause you're the pFeople that I wanted to knowAm  
All this scrCambling 'rAmound, hunting hFigh and then loAmw
Looking fCor the fAmace, love, or soFmewhere to goAm

Cause you're the plFaces that I wanted to goG

To answer a question, it'll probably take more

If you're already there, well, you probably don't know

Well, we we're the people that we wanted to know

And we're the places that we wanted to go

C Am F Am

It's hard to get hold of and hard to let go

Always asking a question and I don't want to know

Like the wind across strings that had finally let go

C Am G

And the people you love but you didn't quite know

F Am

They're the places that you wanted to go

C Am F Am

Bark at the neighbors and then bark at the dog

C Am F Am

Sniffling and whimpering for someone to know

C Am G

But we we're the people that we wanted to know

Well, it messed up the function and sure fucked up the flow

I hardly have people that I needed to know

Looking for the face, love, or somewhere to go

Cause you're the places that I wanted to go

[Chorus]
