  • What you mean, what you mean?
    What you mean, man, what you mean?
    What you mean, yeah, what you see?
    What you see, yeah, oh no

    Well I need a little something to pull my head off
    Need a little something to pull my head off, yeah
    Need a little something
    Because I've been running from the truth
    Will never lose
    Lies come from loose teeth
    Tied to the noose
    Climbing up my own tree hoping it can hold
    All the things I've seen but I've chosen to ignore
    Well, I said, well I believe I've been well fed, yeah
    But the wolf's not dead

    Say what you love, it's alright
    Don't be afraid to find your light
    Embrace the day, like night
    We hear the fire
    We all go wild again
    And you have the name
    Of someone I love
    You said, just keep it true
    Lift up your name
    Seasons change
    You know it'll never be the same
    We'll see the sun again
    Before it fades
    I just wanna say that I love you

    Pay the man, pay the man
    Got to pay the man
    Run as fast as you can
    Call out to God, praise to the Most High
    Call out for help 'cause I'm playing with fire
    Call out to mountains till my voice goes faint
    Echoes through time then goes back with new strength

    And when it's raining
    We're sailing
    Oh yeah, we're sailing
    We're sailing

    I'm off the leash
    I go to war for peace
    Must've been touching everything that I can
    I've got blood on my hands
    Guess I'm going deaf with the cry of this sin
    Oh please forgive me I don't understand
    We all believe we've been well fed, yeah

    The deaf man heard what the mute man said
    Then they all followed where the blind man led

    Say what you love, it's alright
    Don't be afraid to find your light
    Embrace the day, like night
    We hear the fire
    We all go wild again
    And you have the name
    Of someone I love
    You said, just keep it true
    Lift up your name
    Seasons change
    You know it'll never be the same
    We'll see the sun again
    And before it fades
    I just wanna say that I love you

    (Pay the man, pay the man, pay the man)
    Pay the man, you got to pay the man
    Pay the man, you got to pay the man
    Pay the man
    Well, I was laughing real hard until my teeth fell out
    Laughing real hard until my teeth fell out
    Was laughing real hard but my teeth fell out
    Need a little something
    Need a little something
    (A little something, little something, little something)

    You said, just keep it true
    Lift up your name
    Seasons change
    You know it'll never be the same
    We'll see the sun again
    Before it fades
    I just wanna say that I love you

    Can't you see
    Can't see me
    Can't see me
    Can't see me
    And can't see me
    Can't see me
    We all run when the light comes on
    Am I wrong, for wanting it all?
    But I warned you Writer/s: ISOM INNIS, JOSH ABRAHAM, JUSTIN MOHRLE, KEINAN WARSAME, MARK FOSTER, MARK PONTIUS, OLIVER GOLDSTEIN
