Are You Lulu
Goldfish Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't exist; at least I'm pretty sure
And yet
I heard your voice
Saw your smile
Felt the sadness behind your eyes
And my failure to love you stings
Even after I woke up and realized
You were "only a dream"
Who are you now that I have to find you again?
Who are you now that you've gone past the end?
I'll retrace this path once I find where it begins
I'll be with you once I find out who you are again
If it took two hundred years I would make it back to you
I don't care how far away I am or what I have to do
I'll make it home somehow, someway
And see you on a brighter day
Who are you now that I have to find you again?
Who are you now that we have yet to be friends?
Who are you now and do you want to jump back in?
I'll be with you once I find out who you are again
Who are you now that I have to find you again?
Who are you now that you've gone past the end?




I'll retrace this path once I find where it begins
I'll be with you once I find out who you are again
