Zoo
Dough-Boy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

uh uh uh
uh uh uh

A memory, a night alone
A raining telephone
What did you say to make him leave
To be here on your own
This emptiness, it fills you up
It's like a tidal wave
After all this time
Maybe you just can't change

Leavin', stayin', anticipatin'
Tell me what you feelin'
What you really feelin'

Look around the human zoo
There's somebody there for you
Look around the corner
In the shadows, look behind you too
Look where love has never been
Where love will never go
Look around the human zoo
There's somebody there to hold
Hold me, yeah yeah yeah

A painful truth, a letter sent
What did you mean to say?
I talk too much until it hurts
And then you run
These fireworks, the silent rage
This anger in your face
After all this time
Maybe you just can't change

Leavin', stayin', anticipatin'
Tell me what you feelin'
What you really feelin'

Look around the human zoo
There's somebody there for you
Look around the corner
In the shadows, look behind you too
Look where love has never been
Where love will never go
Look around the human zoo
There's somebody there to hold

Let me go where love won't go
Let me dream where love won't dream
Let me go
Tell me what you feelin'
What you really feel inside

Look around the human zoo
There's somebody there for you
Look around the corner
In the shadows, look behind you too
Look where love has never been
Where love will never go
Look around the human zoo
There's somebody there to hold

Oh, what you feel, what you feel, what you feelin'




What you feel, what you feel, what you feelin' (yeah, yeah)
Oh, what you feel, what you feel, what you feelin'
