Talk To Me
Abandon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh tell me what the future holds
I want the answers so
Show me, show me what's going on
I can't stand sitting around
I gotta move and I gotta move now
How much longer do I have to wait
Still trying to figure it out
My head keeps spinning around
Why, why, what's it all mean
Hey, hey, won't you tell me
I don't know which way to go
'Cause I've never been down this road
I'm tired of second-guessing and obsessing
So I'm asking please
Talk to me!
Will I find you when the wheels stop turning
And my road meets a dead end
It's clear that I am lost
And I turn to you for direction
You show me that I've been wasting
Been chasing, misplacing
My faith in answers that only cloud my mind
Oh but I'm
Still trying to figure it out
Dizzy from spinning around
Why, why, what's it all mean
Hey, hey, won't you tell me
I don't know which way to go
'Cause I've never been down this road
I'm tired of second-guessing and obsessing
So I'm asking please
If I don't know where to go you are the one that will know
I'm losing control but it's alright, it's alright
It's like we've been here before and I'm still learning for sure
I can't ignore that it's alright, yeah it's alright
'Cause I'm still trying to figure it out
Dizzy from spinning around
Why, why, what's it all mean
Hey, hey, won't you tell me
I don't know which way to go
Cause I've never been down this road
I'm tired of second-guessing and obsessing
I'm still guessing
Still trying to figure it out
My head keeps spinning around
Why, why, why, won't you tell me
Oh, I don't really know which way to go
'Cause I've never been down this road
I'm tired of second-guessing and obsessing
So I'm asking please
