Where Are You?
Oscar and the Wolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I couldn't find you
I couldn't find you
Where are you?

I couldn't find you
I couldn't find you
Where are you?
Consider,
Was you better when I liked your name?
I watched you better when I was your man
Come to me darling we can do better
If we slow down, then we can be maybe
And it's teasing my head

I'm living here
Wasn't it best you was still living here
Couldn't forget you when it got so wrong
When I know that I can do better
Treasure the fame and we can do anything
I call out your name and we can go anywhere
I call out your name and we can go anywhere

You didn't wake me up
I don't where you are
You didn't wake me up
I don't know where you are
You didn't wake me up
I don't know where you are
You didn't wake me up
I don't know where you are

And it's teasing my head

I couldn't find you




I couldn't find you
Where are you?
