"Exactly Nothing" lyrics

"Exactly Nothing"

Have you seen the ocean
Move under the night sky
Over people's envy?
Means exactly nothing, nothing to me

Oh, it's not enough for you
Oh, you want to hold it too
Oh, you want the night and day
Oh, you know you can't have it both ways

Have you seen the treetops
Move under the blue sky
Over people's envy?
Means exactly nothing, nothing to me

Oh, it's not enough for you
Oh, you want the sun and moon
Oh, you want the night and day
Oh, you know you can't have it both ways

Have you seen the ocean
Move under the night sky?
