So Many Ways Lyrics
There are only so many ways to earn your own surprise
I know we're giving up too soon
There are only so many ways to float upon the sea
It makes no difference to me
It must be pretty nice my fellow man
We'll miss you much
I think we overestimate our places underground
Ooo, done
Ooo, dust
Ooo, done
Jason:
There are only so many ways to earn your own surprise
It's written down and cannot be changed
If that's what you believe
Kori:
I know we're giving up too soon
I'm never coming here again
It makes no difference to me
Jason:
There are only so many ways to float upon the sea
Or collapse on Union Street
I know that you'll be there
Kori:
I know there's beauty in the fool
So I'll keep reminding you'll agree
It must be pretty nice within your clan
I'll miss you much
I think we overestimate our places underground
Nothing and everything
Oh, oh what have you given me?
Nothing and everything
Ooo, done
Ooo, dust
Ooo, done
There are only so many ways to pardon our divide
Let's sew the canyon to the sky
It must be pretty nice my fellow band
I'll miss you much
I think we overestimate our places underground
Oh, oh what have you given me?
Nothing and everything
Done
I know we're giving up too soon
There are only so many ways to float upon the sea
It makes no difference to me
We'll miss you much
I think we overestimate our places underground
Ooo, dust
Ooo, done
There are only so many ways to earn your own surprise
It's written down and cannot be changed
If that's what you believe
I know we're giving up too soon
I'm never coming here again
It makes no difference to me
There are only so many ways to float upon the sea
Or collapse on Union Street
I know that you'll be there
I know there's beauty in the fool
So I'll keep reminding you'll agree
I'll miss you much
I think we overestimate our places underground
Nothing and everything
Ooo, dust
Ooo, done
Let's sew the canyon to the sky
I'll miss you much
I think we overestimate our places underground
Nothing and everything
Done

omg i love this song. no clue what it means. well to "overestimate our places underground" may mean we give too much thought to death?
favorite mates song.
haha and i'm seeing them on november 25th at the epicentre in san diego ! :]
yess. i went to the show and it was absolutely amazing. by far, my favorite show.
This is my favorite song right now.
The whole song is about them living in, but mostly getting tired of, San Francisco. I think a lot of the lyrics are shots at the culture and atmosphere of the city itself.
It amazes me that a band with such happy sounding songs would have so many songs with lyrics about death.
