In Other Words Lyrics by Ben Kweller

Sha Sha Deluxe

2002

[Verse 1]
Another night slips away
In other words I should say
There are no words he should say
There are no words
In his eyes I see the fear
That only time can disappear
If only time could reappear
Now's the time
[Refrain]
Something to take it away
To take it away
To take it
Don't let it stay
And don't let it stay
Don't let it
[Chorus]
The butterflies are passive-aggressive
And put their problems on the shelf
But they're beautiful
And he'll realize the only thing that's real
Are the kids that kid themselves, and the demise
Of the beautiful
What is beautiful?
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
The multi-life is better than
The one we're in—the one we knew
'Cause everyone is seeing through
Everyone
They're stepping on his gold terrain
He's moving on with bold refrain
His blatantly old campaign
Is moving on
[Refrain]
Something to take it away
To take it away
To take it
And don't let it stay
Don't let it stay
Don't let it
[Chorus]
The butterflies are passive-aggressive
And put their problems on the shelf
But they're so beautiful
He'll realize the only thing that's real
Are the kids that kid themselves, and the demise
Of the beautiful
What is beautiful?
[Bridge]
What can't stay goes away
What can't stay goes away
It starts stopping when it stops stopping
It starts stopping when it stops stopping
It starts stopping when it stops stopping
It starts stopping when it stops stopping
It starts stopping when it stops stopping
It starts stopping when it stops stopping
It starts stopping when it stops stopping
It starts stopping when it stops stopping
It starts stopping when it stops stopping
Yeah
Ah yeah
[Outro]
Ooo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
