Lyrics

What If I Knew

Ankle deep and wonderin' why I'm full of doubt
All this thinkin's stoppin' me from helpin' out
I can't say I wasn't warned
I've been tryin' but I'm torn

Is it you, who?
Is it me you wanted to?
Is it three - what if I knew?
If we could find another way, love
If we could go back a few more days

I'm readin', fadin', contemplating all my love
Penetrated by the wasteland I've become
I don't wanna go through more
I don't know what to try for

Is it you, who?
Is it me you wanted to?
Is it three - what if I knew?
If we could find another way, love
If we could go back a few more days now

Take it back and run away
Take it back and run away
Take it back and run away
Take it back and run away
Take it back and run away
Take it back and run away
Take it back and run away
Take it back and run away
Take it back and run away!
