What Can I Do
GM vs. DY Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whoah-oh, whoah-wah, whoah-oh, whoah-wah
What can I teach you
What can I show you
You have not already seen?
Where can I take you
How can I make you
Where could we go we have not already been?
Don't be afraid
We've touched every plane
It's not the end
Don't be afraid
I promise you're sane
My only friend

Whoah-oh, whoah-ah
Whoah-oh, whoah-ah

Whoah so tell me
What do you see
For you and me
Tell me, baby
So show me the future, for you and me
So tell me, show me baby

What can I teach you
How can I reach you
I have not already tried?
How can I touch you
How can I walk you
Along this black and hard divide

Don't be afraid
The universe will take care of you
Don't be afraid
You'll always know just what to do
Don't ever look back
You'll turn into salt
The past consumes
Don't worry, don't worry

Whoa, so tell me
What do you see
For you and me
Tell me, baby
So show me the future
Of you and me




So tell me
Tell me, baby
