Battle Of Someone Lyrics - Straight On Till Morning - Blues Traveler

Well I love no one and I don't care who knows 

Don't care if you're far away, don't give a damn if you're close 

I'm the vacant distraction of a broken old man 

I lack shape or color, not even gray or even tan 

I'd hate all I see but it makes me too tired 

I'm much more at home when left uninspired 

So damn me to hell and resist if you must 

But lower your eyes once and I'll emerge from the dust 

For I am nothing 

Yes I am nothing 

Yes I am nothing 

And I love no one 

Yes I love no one 

Well I love everyone I am filled with delight 

I understand all your feelings, I don't see from wrong or right 

I'm the look in your eyes when you're telling the truth 

I'm the wisdom of age and the beauty of youth 

I am shape substance color darkest black palest white 

Speckled gond ringing mirror, sharp soft and bright 

I'm rage passion laughter and the need to know why? 

Come sample all my riches, I'm pure stimuli 

For I am everything 

Yes I am everything 

Yes I am everything 

And I love everyone 

Under the sun 

Well I can only love someone I am just a person 

My father loved my mother and I am her son 

The preceding verses are the halves of my soul 

I'm just the battlefield and that is my role 

There's a tug of war between what I can and can't feel 

The inevitable compromise, determines the real 

The equation the reason for my being here 

The struggle resulting in my invention of the tear 

For I'm only something 

Yes I'm only something 

Yes I'm only something 

And I can only love someone 

And it's the best I can do 

It's the very best I can do 

You're probably someone too 

So perhaps I love you 

Perhaps you'll love me too 

Perhaps you'll love me too 

Perhaps you'll love me too
