No One Knows
Dräger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have one of those easy peachy beautiful days
Where you feel like everything is where it should be
Is that only in the movies or is that some American dream?
So I never make any plans I just draw my lines in the sand
I jump ship when the tide turns so I'm not vulnerable to feel the burn
So don't you fight what's in your heart, what's in your heart
Don't you fight what's in your heart, what's in your heart
You know what no one knows
They say tiny victories win the war, but is it wrong to want something more?
I've been genuine and stuck to my word but still I've seen no reward
You don't need to be Michael Stipe to know everybody hurts sometimes
Because nothing's pure we're all undefined
Scared in the way we're all are entwined
So don't you fight what's in your heart, what's in your heart
You know what no one knows
Don't you fight what's in your heart, what's in your heart
You know what no one knows
Some say the best feeling is, is feeling nothing at all
That's how so many have, have come, come to fall
Something things are worth fighting and falling for after all,
So I'm giving into, giving into to it all
So don't you fight what's in your heart, what's in your heart
You know what no one knows
Don't you fight what's in your heart, what's in your heart
You know what no one knows
