Make up Your Mind
Yves Klein Blue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A choice is yours, you make it all on your own.
Now you run and hide from those doubts in your mind,
And choose to say only words that aren't your own.
Yeah, you can pass the blame,
But there's still something wanting.

I don't know why I try when you never make up your mind.
I don't know why I try. Will you ever be satisfied?
How selfish to wait. If there was a divine,
Why would it waste its' time and guide our every trial?
Far braver to say the fault lies not in our stars,
All that's good in life,
And there's still something wanting.

I don't know why I try when you never make up your mind.
I don't know why I try. Will you ever be satisfied?

On your own,
Where you're home is you build it with all the ones you love,
With all the people you need.
You just don't know where your home is.
Are you sure it's not here with me?
You say there's still something wanting.
I don't know why I try when you never make up your mind.




I don't know why I try. Will you never be satisfied?
I don't know why I try. Yeah you'll never be satisfied.
