Do You Think?
Deadline Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you think things will change - I don't think so
On the outside it's changed - I don't think so
In my mind I'm the same - I don't think so
But the years are to blame - I don't think so

Do you think do you think I don't think so

I don't fit in this skin - In this skin
I wanna send back the packaging
I don't feel like it's mine - It's not mine
Do you think I could turn back the time

Do you think do you think I don't think so





Do you think we can turn back the hands of the clock
And get back to where we started from?
