Everything But The Girl - I Don't Understand Anything lyrics

rate me

Words and Music by Tracey Thorn

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.
