Scan the ways
Ms. John Soda Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The more we try
The less we can
The ways of mind
I try to scan

You say you want
I say I try
You ask me what
I ask you why
You try to stoop
I see your head
You say you could
I wouldn't bet

It's all about the way we try to find the sights of one we like
It's all about the way we try to find a silent place to hide
(x2)

You say you want
I say I try
You ask me what
I ask you why
You try to stoop
I see your head
You say you could
I wouldn't bet

It's all about the way we try to find the sights of one we like
It's all about the way we try to find a silent place to hide
It's all about the way we try to find the sights of one we like

You say you want
I say I try
You ask me what
I ask you why
You try to stoop
I see your head
You say you could
I wouldn't bet

The more we try
The less we can




The ways of mind
I try to scan
