A Sentiment of Comfort, "People as Places as People."

I have heard this song a thousand times but I never really listened to it before.  Repeat is making up for that.  Maybe it is very simple to everyone else but the lyrics keep echoing through the sleeping quarters of my disjoined brain.  I will be paying close attention to the places I have already been, or have access to, before my room key expires.  Attender.



To answer the question 
It'll probably take more
If you're already there
Well, you probably don't know
Well, we were the people 
That we wanted to know
And we're the places that we wanted to go

It's hard to get hold of
And hard to let go
Always something we'd looked for
From the day we were born
Instead we're the people that we wanted to know
And we're the places that we wanted to go
And we're the places that we wanted to go
And we're the places that we wanted to go
And we're the places that we wanted to go

Always asking a question
And I don't want to know
Like the wind across strings
That had finally let go
And the people you loved
But you didn't quite know
And they're the places that you wanted to go

Bark at the neighbors
And then bark at the dog
He's sniffling and wimpering
For someone to know
But we were the people that we wanted to know
And we're the places that we wanted go
Yeah, we're the places that we wanted to go
Yeah, we're the places that we wanted to go

It was not the intention
But we let it all go
Well, it messed up the function
And sure fucked up the flow
I hardly have people that I needed to know
Because you're the people that I wanted to know

All this scrambling around
Hunting high and then low
Looking for a face, love
Or somewhere to go
I hardly have places that I need to go
Because you're the places that I wanted to go
Yeah, you're the places that we wanted to go
Yeah, you're the places that we wanted to go
