Find You
Tahoma Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I look for you in the center of the sun
I took a pill but it didn't help me numb
I see your face even when my eyes are shut
But I never really know just where to find you
I taste the words that keep falling out your mouth
You got a logic I'll never figure out
If I could hold you then I'd never put you down
But I never really know just where to find you

Where to find you
Where to find you
But I never really know just where to find you
Try, try, try, but I
Try, try, try, but I, but I
Try, try, try, but I
But I never really know just where to find you

You think you know how to get under my skin
It's good for now but it's never permanent
Knock on the door but there's no one listening

And I never really know just where to find you
You live…
