I Wanna Know
Furs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Close my eyes and I feel like I'm not even in my life
And I never wanna leave as I see myself running out of time
Mistake after mistake, it's safer if I distance myself
If there's a way for me to not do what I have done for so long

Don't be sorry if you know that I'm lonely
I don't feel like you know me well enough to understand
Mysterious ways of dealing with a couple of down days
It's like you're stealing what I had for a while and using it yourself
In my mind I see what I wanna see and if it goes wrong
I think I'll never be the same, but I know it's only make believe

So don't be sorry if you know that I'm lonely
I don't feel like you know me well enough to understand
If you can show me that your thoughts are all holy
I'll pretend that you know me like you always wanted to

Maybe it stays as it's always been
Hazy and they see what we can't see
Please let me know if you want me around
And I'll try my hardest to be good

So don't be sorry if you know that I'm lonely
I don't feel like you know me well enough to understand




If you can show me that your thoughts are all holy
I'll pretend that you know me like you always wanted to
