lyrics

The things that I read don’t mean nothing to me
Nothing to me, nothing to me
The things that I read don’t mean nothing to me
Nothing to me, nothing to me

Cause loyalty I learned from my family
And music taught me how to speak
True beauty I found in the wilderness
Before she brought me down crying on my knees
I studied the mistakes of my elders
Still had to make all the same ones myself
My TV taught me that there’s none you can trust
But my friends taught me trust was enough

And love I don’t know if I’ll ever be done
I learn a little more every day
Direction is pointless I can see it in the wind
I travel but it blows me away

Oh I spent all my years in a school
Only to find out I’m just a clueless fool

Learned to listen when I learned to stop talking
Realized I felt more than i show
For most of what I did to have happened at all
Determination I just had to know

And love I don’t know if I’ll ever be done
I learn a little more about it every day
Direction is pointless I can see it in the wind
I travel but it blows me away
It blows me away
I travel but it blows me away (ooooh)

The things that I read don’t mean nothing to me
Nothing to me, nothing to me
The things that I read don’t mean nothing to me
Nothing at all
