You Already Know
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Wake up to blinding light
This is how we start the day
When will it crystallize?
Confusion sets the stage
I've wasted half my life
When will I get to cruise?
I still feel so far behind
I feel left out of the loop
Out of the loop
Out of the loop
If you want it
You can have it
Come and get it
You already know
If you want it
You can have it
Come and get it
You already know
You already know
You're swept off of your feet
By superstitious signs
You're blowing in the wind
Like you don't trust your own mind
These questions you suppress
But I know the deal
Nobody else can tell me how I feel, how I feel
How I feel
I washed up on the shore
Of some exotic beach
Put me out of range
Oh, put me out of reach
It wasn't long ago we were digging in the dirt
And we came out on the other side of the world
If you want it
You can have it
Come and get it
You already know
If you want it
You can have it
Come and get it
You already know
You already know
If you want it
You can have it
Come and get it
If you want it
You can have it
Come and get it
You already know
