lyrics

I.

Maybe I won’t draw the blinds, ’til I know my eyes
Won’t hurt by the sight of the sun
Maybe I won’t check the time, ’til I know I’m
Too late to get up and go

I know enough to know I don’t know
Enough to know I don’t know
I know enough to know I don’t know
Enough to know I don’t know

Maybe it’s a pendulum swing, to make it to the next thing
Got to go out of my way to get out of my way
Maybe I can clear the dust, white vinegar to pick up rust
I’ll make new from old

I know enough to know I don’t know
Enough to know I don’t know
I know enough to know I don’t know
Enough to know I don’t know

II.

Don’t commit to anything, you might not feel this way tomorrow
Listen to the bluebird sing, she’s undermining all your sorrow
So transparent in my dreams, I trace them back to all my fears
My complex anxieties are oh, so simple

Change the words from bad to good, I wish I understood this feeling
Raised in places far away, but still a child in need of rearing
When did I decide to stand, still in one place, to slow to land
Watch the water drift away and hear the grasses windy wave?

III.

Don’t know
I know enough to know I
Don’t know
I know enough to know I
Don’t know
I know enough to know I
Don’t know
I know enough to know I
Don’t know
I know enough to know I
Don’t know
I know enough to know I
Don’t know

When did I decide to stand still?
