The More You Say, The Less It Means

from Visitor by John Moreland

lyrics

The more you say, the less it means
Living in the in betweens
In between the gold and blue
In between the world and you
In between’s where you were born
With all your little heartstrings torn
There’s nothing wrong with in between
The more you say, the less it means

Some folks stay and some folks go
Some folks say and some folks know
The distance between then and now
Is gonna catch you anyhow
Hold me near, I’ve traveled far
Collapsing like a lonely star
Now there’s nothing left but smithereens
The more you say, the less it means

In between the gold and blue
In between the world and you
The world that made a great big hole
In the middle of your mortal soul
And now you’re throwing punches at the moon
Crying, cause it ends too soon
Oh lord, another tragic scene
The more you say, the less it means
The more you say, the less it means

John Moreland doesn’t have the answers, and he’s not sure anyone does. But he’s still curious, basking in the comfort of a question, and along the way, those of us listening feel moved to ask our own. “I don’t ever want to sound like I have answers, because I don’t,” he says. “These
songs are all questions. Everything I write is just trying to figure stuff out.”
