Lyrics

Tap Out

2013

Written by Albert Hammond Jr., Fabrizio Moretti

Lyrics

Tap Out

They found our city under the water Gotta get my hands on something new You don't want to be without this Something isn't adding up Decide my past, define my life Don't ask questions, 'cause I don't know why Someone Didn't wanna know their name Drifting You don't wanna know what's going down Even though I really like your place Somehow, we don't have to know each other's name They found our city under the water I began to listen to your eyes You don't want to live without it Leaving others in a bind Decide my past, define my life Don't ask questions, 'cause I don't know why Someone Didn't wanna know their name Drifting You don't wanna know what's going down Even though I really like your place Somehow, we don't have to know each other's name Decide my past, define my life Don't ask questions, 'cause I don't know why I don't listen And I don't speak Well, it's a talent But I don't know why
