We bitch and we fight Diss each other on sight But this thing we do These times together Rain or shine or stormy weather This thing we do With world-weary grace We've taken our places We could curse it or nurse it and give it a name It's louder than words This thing that we do Louder than words The way it unfurls It's louder than words The sum of our parts The beat of our hearts Is louder than words Louder than words The strings bend and slide As the hours glide by An old pair of shoes Your favorite blues Gonna tap out the rhythm Let's go with the flow Wherever it goes We're more than alive It's louder than words This thing that we do Louder than words The way it unfurls It's louder than words The sum of our parts The beat of our hearts Is louder than words Louder than words
