Casualties of the Times: I Don't Know (I Just Know)

I Don’t Know (I Just Know)


Hey…
Are you as crazy as me?
You put on one hell of a show
With your mad cow mints and your rose oil
So babe…
Oh, can I call you Baby?
See, our friends say we should get together
And they’re not going to give us any peace
But hey…
Lord knows there are fates far worse than you
A couple dates should suffice to prove
That what we already know
That it is the truth

I’m in love with the idea of loving you
But that’s not the same as loving you
I know it won’t last, so just pass me by
Like the warm summer wind, like the pull of the tide
Before the wave that’s gonna crush us both
A big, big wave…
Yeah, it’s going to crush us both
We’re going to get what’s coming

Don’t… ask me why…
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know
I just know
I just know
I just know

Hey…
Did I come off flirting yesterday?
Seems I give a cocktail of signals
Running through a dense crowd, waving razor blades
Some days…
Feel disembodied eyes all over me
And for all my bad mouthing religion
There’s nothing quite like some Christ to help you sleep
So I pray…
For all the wrong reasons that you could pray
Eating my tail with each word I say
I untangle myself
Eating tangles away

So in love with the idea of loving you
But that’s not the same as loving you
I know it won’t last, so just pass me by
Like the warm summer wind, like the pull of the tide
Before the wave that’s gonna crush us both
A big, big wave…
Yeah, it’s going to crush us both
We’re going to get what’s coming

Don’t… ask me why…
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know
I just know
I just know
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know
I just know
I just know
I just know
