[Verse 1]
I heard of a place not too far from here is handin' out answers about why we are here
And it's a small town in a small world and the congregation's small too, but somehow I think they're tellin' the truth
And in the same small town there is a girl, she's a good looker but she's mad at the world
And she's wonderin' about tomorrow and why she's here, she's sick and tired of using her sleeves to wipe her tears
And oh oh...
[Chorus]
And you can tell by the look that's in her eyes, she's not that well
She's wishin' someone would close their eyes and picture this for just a moment to theirself
[Post-Chorus]
And oh, at least that's what they say, yeah-eh-ay
And at least that's what they...
That's what they say, that's what they say
At least that's what they say, yeah-eh-ay
[Verse 2]
She sits alone, she's a re-run queen
The sun shines through her window enough to make out her figurine
Her neighbors look at her strange 'cause she's lived there her whole life and they still don't know her name
She likes to keep to herself 'cause she can't find nobody else
And oh oh...
[Chorus]
And you can tell by the look that's in her eyes, she's not that well
She's wishin' someone would close their eyes and picture this for just a moment to theirself
[Post-Chorus]
And oh, at least that's what they say, yeah-eh-ay
And at least that's what they...
That's what they say, that's what they say
And at least that's what they say, yeah-eh-ay
Yeah, yeah, what they say, what they say, what they say, what they say
I don't care what they say, what they say, what they say, what they say
I don't care what they say, what they say, what they say, what they say
I don't care, no-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Bridge 1]
She wanders through the town to find this place she's heard about thinkin' maybe they can figure out what's wrong
And oh oh, they greet her with a smile sayin' they've been waiting for quite some while just to let her know she's worth more than she's ever dreamed of
And her heart opens wide, and for the first time in her life she feels the touch of Jesus deep inside
And oh oh, she wonders what went wrong in a town where nothin's going on, and thinks of all the others that she knows
[Bridge 2]
And she said, and she said, and she said, and she said
And she said, and she said, and she said, and she said
And she said, "no, wanna nee nah nana ney, wanna nee nah nana ney"
And she said "wanna nee nah nana ney, wanna nee nah nana ney"
And she said "wanna nee nah nana ney, wanna nee nah nana ney"
And she said "wanna nee nah nana ney"
And oh oh, no-oh, no-oh-oh
No-oh, no-oh-oh
No-oh, no-oh-oh-oh
[Outro]
She wanders through the town to find this place she's heard about thinkin' maybe they can figure out what's wrong
And oh oh, they greet her with a smile sayin' they've been waiting for quite some while just to let her know she's worth more than she's ever dreamed of
