[Chorus] We all need to know what we all mean by what we're saying Otherwise there's no surprise when we all don't comprehend just make a few selfish choices and don't stick to the plan Tired of hearing people say that they can't help it when they can shouldn't be acting clueless but we really don't understand here's a page we can all be on to keep track of where we stand [Verse 1] I don't mean to be mean explaining these things while I sing But the words we choose to say don't always convey what we mean Often their meanings are not that to which most of us cling Rather the powerful feeling triggered by the ghost in our brain Taught by the societal system that has most of us trained To chase indescribable feelings over knowing what we're saying (do you know what I'm saying) [Chorus] We all need to know what we all mean by what we're saying Otherwise there's no surprise when we all don't comprehend just make a few selfish choices and don't stick to the plan Tired of hearing people say that they can't help it when they can shouldn't be acting clueless but we really don't understand here's a page we can all be on to keep track of where we stand [verse 2] These words will become part of your story as you write it If your story sounds good when you tell it you get excited Made up can't make up for real life you know you can't hide it Shoot for the moon when we see high tide we want to ride it We each have our own Temptations that some of us are fighting So we need to agree what these things mean before reciting (maybe we'd be enlightened) [Chorus] We all need to know what we all mean by what we're saying Otherwise there's no surprise when we all don't comprehend just change a few of your choices and then stick to the plan Tired of hearing people say that they can't help it when they can we won't be this clueless when we want to understand here's a page we can all be on so we'll know where we stand [verse 3] I get that getting it isn't for everyone so best you rest at ease Luckily for their attention span best things in life are free But it's fleeting and if you don't spend it wisely time is brief Doesn't matter what you have what you give is your memory So knowing how we all define our words can give us the keys To sincerely understand the intensions of their pleas (do it for our children please) [Chorus] now we all know what we all mean by what we're saying only pleasant surprises now because we all comprehend making better choices and just sticking to the plan most people won't say that they can't help it when they can We could just be happy but some still don't understand here's the page that we're all on so now you know where we stand
