Undecided
Kayak Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time you look at me
My defence is weaking
I can't afford to let you touch my soul
Do't you know just why i'm waiting
And hesitating to fall
Blaming myself for feeling anything at all

Undecided
Yet delighted and excited
But i'm equally frightened
But the rope has tightened around my heart
Still so divided
Undecided

Every time you call my name
My heart's surrendering
But I feel my army's standing tall
I'll always find some lame excuse
Afraid you'll make me choose after all
I'm only pushing you away to get my life back in control

Undecided
Yet delighted and excited
But i'm equally frightened
But the rope has tightened around my heart
Still so divided
Undecided

Can't find the answers to the questions that you raise
I won't seee the truth though it's been staring me right in the face for days
There is two sides to a medal but I never know which side is up
My mind is going round in circles why can't I make it stop

Undecided
Yet delighted and excited
But i'm equally frightened
But the rope has tightened around my heart
Still so divided
Undecided

Undecided
Yet delighted and excited
But i'm equally frightened
But the rope has tightened around my heart




Still so divided
Undecided

My mind is going round in circles why can't I make it stop
My thoughts are stuck in a loop and I cannot break free

Wat een prachtig nummer gezongen door een geweldige zangeres die erg ondergewaardeerd is.

The GRT Tube

Onbegrijpelijk inderdaad. Erg mooi nummer van een nog steeds geweldige groep! Het is toch een andere tijd waar we in leven. Kille beats en computerpop hebben de aandacht van onze jeugd, toch redelijk groot in getal ;) Grtjes

Leuk deze zangeres. Een waardige opvolgster. Ik heb ze in 1973 in Drieluik in Zaandam gezien. Fantastische goeie band!
