Lyrics

Knowitall

I came home as someone else
Must have wished it on myself
When I got lost in thought
While we were out

Hours have passed and I have seen
The terror I am stuck between
Who I've been and who I'm thinking
I could be

I was listening to a battle begin
Wondering which side would win

Did you say something?
I'm sorry I apologize

Now I can tell
After this there's nothing else
Nothing you can't solve
If you're such a knowitall

Maybe I'm not good enough
Or you don't resemble what I've built up
After months, see it loomin'
Over us

Well, tell me I made some mistake
Entertaining a second date
I'm a mess so nervous
And it's getting late

What should I do? I'll tell you
Pretty soon I'll shatter in two

And just because
You place something high enough
The harder it can fall
But you knew that you're a knowitall

A knowitall
A knowitall
A knowitall

What I can tell
After this there's nothing else
Nothing you can't solve
If you're such a knowitall, hey
