I know there's got to be more than this
In these boxy apartments and offices
Scrambling to pay the bills and the mortgages
Doesn't seem to be as deep as the story gets
Posing, posting up all our performances
Turn our loved ones into a audience
For our political cause and accomplishments
Whatever make 'em like, share, and applaud for us
That's all we trust
But there's more than this, little one-inch box
That we're forced to fit to get a portrait
There's got to be a lot more but I'm lazy sometimes
I don't want to explore, if I'm feeling outta sorts
I shop some more, sometimes I forgot
What I bought before it even arrives at my door
They don't knock no more, I mean my friends it's just me
And this cardboard, I can't see my garage floor

There's gotta be more than this
Answering a call from inside my soul
This can't be all there is
But right now this is all I know
There's gotta be more than this
Answering a call from inside my soul
There's gotta be more than this
There's gotta be more than this

Prettiest people do the ugliest things
The type of jewel you spit before becoming a king
A lotta time the poor dream of getting rich
Imagining the joy of expensive shit, but it's a trip
'Cause before we had togetherness
And we were just forced to make the best of it
But when we get more, we forget all this
And our hearts grow sore with the emptiness

We used to think we never had enough
Took a trip and got bitten by the travel bug
Dip our toes in the ocean, soak the magic up
Till finally got bored and strayed away
From the places that they make for the tourists to the villages
It's like welcome to the world and how real it is
People given from their spirit what the feeling is
I see myself and remember just what living is, what a privilege

There's gotta be more than this
Answering a call from inside my soul
This can't be all there is
But right now this is all I know
There's gotta be more than this
Answering a call from inside my soul
There's gotta be more than this
There's gotta be more than this
