I know The more I think, the less I know I know Some feelings just don't let go I know The more I think, the less I know I know Some feelings just don't let go I know The more I think, the less I know I know Some feelings just don't let go I know The more I think, the less I know

I'm tired of listenin' to all that I'm missin' When I'm not with you, don't know what I'll do The silence is screamin' of things that I'm thinkin' of What you really do? 'Cause all I ever hear is You don't really care 'bout me Go, you should probably leave Love me, love me A little less conversation A little more body Is all I need I know you will love me, love me No, I don't care what they're sayin' You show that you love me that's all I need The less I know is better The less I know is better The less I know is better Better, better for me The less I know is better The less I know is better The less I know is better Better, better for me, for me (For me) A bad reputation I'm scared hesitating I wanna hear your lie Of what you did last night Your kisses they heal me Your hands on my body Make it feel alright When all I ever hear is You don't really care 'bout me Go, you should probably leave Love me, love me A little less conversation A little more body is all I need I know you will love me, love me No, I don't care what they're sayin' You show that you love me that's all I need The less I know is better The less I know is better The less I know is better Better, better for me The less I know is better The less I know is better The less I know is better Better, better for me, for me (The less I know is better) (The less I know) (The less I know) (The less I know) (The less I know) (The less I know) The less I know is better

Your eyes look bored, your brow's mean Looking upon your lit up screen And the story that plays out is not clean You can't unsee what you've seen I go walking out, the storms upon me And I'm wandering about upon the stone And the evening sky is storming too Was I better off, the less I knew? We're coming up in odd days Experience so many ways And one person's easy path's another's maze And yet we go on unfazed You go stumbling out, just past the township See the dog trees swaying above the ground And the cold upon your skin it feels so true Were you better off, the less you knew? And all I see is grey and green With all the other colours in between Are we faking out, just trying to get through? And we're drinking now, to not be blue Meanwhile, life is raging in you Were we better off the less we knew? The less we know, the less we know The less we know, the less we know The less we know, the less we know Are we better off the less we know?

But is there something more than that? But is there something more than that? But is there something more than that? But is there something more than that? But is there something more than that?

'Cause I was nervous sure But it's something I'm used to And I can tell by your face No one's ever been rude to you When I can tell you things That I can't say to anyone And you came home today But you didn't stay very long Now it's like the world owes you Walking around like everybody should know you I wanna be like we used to But now you're worried who's audience will lose you And I had no idea What that feeling could do to you And I could tell you've changed By the people around you I used to take the long way Just so I could walk past your door I used to wait outside But I guess I won't anymore

Well, he feels like an elephant Shaking his big grey trunk for the hell of it He knows that you're dreaming about being loved by him Too bad your chances are slim And it's not like Mr. Shuck to get shy when I ask him who is on top There must be something deep down in the dark down there But he's not too easily scared He's got friends but they got the fear Wouldn't care too much if he just disappeared Oh look, see there he is now coming down the stairs Here he comes He pulled the mirrors off his Cadillac 'Cause he doesn't like it looking like he looks back He talks like his opinion is a simple fact Somebody grabbed his collar He cried the whole way home Nobody remembered a thing when they saw him again That's how it is 'til the end Yeah

I know where you went, but I don't know how you got there I know where you went, but I don't know how you got there Silver tongue hill, where you talk up what I'd play down I would speak up, but I wouldn't know what to say Oh, to say Lucidity, come back to me Put all five senses back to where they're meant to be Oh, it's hard to tell, breaks down There is a will, there is a way Wondering around like spare time never knew it I might suck, fizzle or I might just float away (Float away) And we'll go running off tonight High above, where we won't even Need to reach the sky, my love Oh, there will be a change in the air Nobody will be anybody else Lucidity, come back to me Put all five senses back to where they're meant to be Oh, where we'll go, tiptoe Tread boldly right down to the lair.

Has it really been that long? Did I count the days wrong? Did we just go round and round All the way to step one? Hear it ask me all the time Every time it shows up "So what you doin' with your life?" It ain't givin' up Just growin' up in stages (Lay down no more) Livin' life in phases Another season changes And still my days are shapeless It's always drive straight, don't be late 'Cause time waits for no one I should be flying straight, no delay 'Cause time takes from everyone And we're floating here Waiting for our wave to come Take us to the place Takin' us where we have gone Hear it ask me all the time Showin' up through ages "So what you doin' with your life?" Call it givin' up I'm just growin' up in stages (Lay down no more) Livin' life in phases Another season changes And still my ways are aimless, I know We're growin' up in stages And I'm runnin' out of pages Growin' up I should be flying straight, don't be late 'Cause time waits for no one I should be flying straight, don't be late 'Cause time takes from everyone
