All I Need to Know
Thousand Foot Krutch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You could read a million pages, know the words and all the phrases
You could try to turn a lie into the truth
You can live to be a hundred, memorizin' every number
You could even put a man on the moon
And the science of the heart is sometimes lost on me
But I'm following this feeling!

I don't know why, it's so hard to swallow our pride!
And I don't know how many wrongs make a right
I don't know the reason
Sometimes it just feels so, good to cry!
And I don't know which way the wind will blow
But You're here with me
And that's All I Need To Know!

There's a moment in the morning, when I feel the most alone
But then I hear Your voice, whispering my name
It's like a wave of understanding and I never could of planned it
When the questions, and doubts all fade away

I don't know why, it's so hard to swallow our pride!
And I don't know how many wrongs make a right
I don't know the reason
Sometimes it just feels so, good to cry!
And I don't know which way the wind will blow
But You're here with me
And that's All I Need To Know!

I figured it out, You turned me around at the speed of light
All that ever, needed to know was in your eyes

I don't know why, it's so hard to swallow our pride
And I never killed all the stars in the sky
I don't know the reason
Sometimes it just feels so, good to cry!
And I don't know which way the wind will blow
But you're here with me
And that's All I Need To Know!

That's all I need to know!




That's all I need to know
All I need to know!

You could read a million pages
Know the words in all the phrases
You could try to turn a lie into the truth
And you can live to be a hundred
Memorizing every number
You could even put a man on the moon
And the science of the heart is sometimes lost on me
But I'm following this feeling

I don't know why it's so hard to swallow our pride
And I don't know how many wrongs make a right
I don't know the reason, sometimes it just feels so good to cry
And I don't know which way the wind will blow
But you're here with me, and that's all I need to know

There's a moment in the morning
When I feel the most alone
But then I hear your voice whispering my name
It's like a wave of understanding
And I never could have planned it
Where the questions and doubts all fade away

And I don't know why it's so hard to swallow our pride
And I don't know how many wrongs make a right
I don't know the reason, sometimes it just feels so good to cry
And I don't know which way the wind will blow
But you're here with me, and that's all I need to know
Oh-oh, oh (that's all I need to know)

I figured it out, just turn me around
At the speed of light
All that I ever needed to know
Was in your eyes

I don't know why it's so hard to swallow our pride
And I'll never count all the stars in the sky
I don't know the reason, sometimes it just feels so good to cry
And I don't know which way the wind will blow
But you're here with me, and that's all I need to know
Oh-oh oh (that's all I need to know)
Oh-oh oh (that's all I need to know)
Oh-oh oh (all I need to know)
Oh-oh oh

@moistsponge9227

This is one thing I like about TFK, they have the heavier songs like 'Let the sparks fly' or 'Fire it up' and then they also make calmer songs like this. (If that makes sense.)

@fka_sophrosyne

Makes total sense :)

Yes. Same thing with Shinedown
