Lyrics
I Don't Understand Anything
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.
What is it that I think I need?
Is there love in me that wants to be freed?
Or is it selfishness and ego
We carry with us everywhere that we go?
This feeling that life's incomplete
Do you feel that too?
Do you want what I want?
And if I should start to cry
And I can't begin to tell you why
And I stumble when I begin
It's 'cause I don't understand anything
People say that we're so close
How can there be something that I don't know
Oh, but even though I share your bed
Baby, I don't get inside your head
This feeling of some mystery
Do you feel that too?
Do you know what I mean?
And if I should start to cry
And I can't begin to tell you why
And I stumble when I begin
It's cause I don't understand anything
Watch me stumble, watch me trip
My fingers loose their grip
Now I'm down on my knees
Is that what you wanted to see?
What is it that I think I need?
What is it that I think I need?
And if I should start to cry
And I can't begin to tell you why
And I stumble when I begin
It's 'cause I don't understand anything
You reach for me from miles away
You reach for me from miles away
