How Are You True Songtext
von Cage the Elephant

Wake up, say a little prayer
Out of bed, to the bathroom where
I take a look at myself and I stop and stare
And I wonder who is this standing here

And I try to find the will to carry on
Wonder how much longer I can carry on
′Cause these days
They take so long, yes they do

Hey
How are you true?
The light will guide you home
Yes it will

Hey
How are you true?
Well, there's one thing that you should know
Yes you should


You need love
You need love
You need love
You need (la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la) love

All your days spend countin′ numbers
'Til one day you'll find (day you′ll find)
That life has passed you by
And in the quiet still of silence try to hide your eyes
Oh no, no, don′t cry, oh no

Hey
How are you true?
The light will guide you home
Yes it will

Oh, the years, they turn so fast
Soon the present will be past
And you'll look back and laugh
Yes you will

Well, I can still remember
Yes, I was a young man too
Alone, but not forgotten
And the candle shining through


Still all these words I′ve spoken
Don't mean anything at all
Without love, without love, without love
Without (la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la) love

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Oh, yeah

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Oh, yeah

I remember clearly
We were both there on the airplane
You told me all your secrets
Oh, I never saw it coming
I thought that you were joking
You were actually quite serious
