Lyrics Cage the Elephant

Cage the Elephant

How Are You True

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 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 so 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 love

Do, do, do, oh yeah

Do, do, do, oh yeah

I remember clearly we were both there on the airplane

Told me all your secrets, oh I never saw it coming

I thought that you were joking

You were actually quite serious
