So What
Space Mtn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't stand it, I'm gonna explode
My insides coming out
There is a thin layer filling these cracks
And it's made of doubt
But I can't doubt this
Not just yet
The good is much too great
There is a thin layer lining this cloud
And it's carrying its weight

So what do I do now?
So what if I don't know how?
So what do I do now?
So what

So I can't stand it
I'm gonna implode
My outsides coming in
There is a brick wall building itself
And it wants it all forgotten
But I can't forget, not just yet
The good is much too fine
There is a brick wall aiming to destroy
And sneak in a little sunshine

So what do I do now?
So what do I do now?
So what if I don't know how
So what





So what
