My Better Self Lyrics - Young & Old - Tennis

My better self still knows 

That meaning comes and goes 

What is it made? 

I do not know 

But meaning comes and it goes 

Each and every portent 

Of bitter substance spent 

Despite the effort I have planned 

You seem to lose what I've meant 

If I don't use words 

Then each sound goes unheard 

Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs 

Symbols suggest they are fit to possess 

A purposely function 

That cannot be met 

Those who created know 

Air is in man and blow 

Only the value given shows 

That meaning comes and goes 

My better self still knows 

That meaning comes and goes 

What is it made? 

I do not know 

But meaning comes and it goes 

If I don't use words 

Then each sound goes unheard 

Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs 

But symbols suggest they are fit to possess 

A purposely function 

That cannot be met 

If I don't use words 

Then each sound goes unheard 

Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs 

But symbols suggest they are fit to possess 

A purposely function 

That cannot be met 

My better self still knows 

That meaning comes and goes 

What is it made? 

I do not know 

But meaning comes and goes
