What I Don't Know
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

I don't know a thing
Don't know a thing about the world
I've spent my whole life here
Hiding from what's real

I don't know a single truth
Don't know anything that counts
I know stuff that has no meaning
And then only the beginning

[chorus]
I don't know what I need
I may not need to know
While I wait here to find out
I don't know if you might go

[instrumental]

I can tell you lots of things
I can tell you 'bout machines
But I don't know how I feel
What I know does not seem real

I can tell you that I care
But I don't know if I dare
I don't know how you might feel
Things I say may make you scared

[chorus]
I don't know what I need
I may not need to know
While I wait here to find out
I don't know if you might go

[instrumental]

I don't know a thing
Don't know a thing about the world
I've spent my whole life here
Hiding from what's real

I don't know what I need
I may not need to know
While I wait here to find out
I don't know if you might go

I don't know if you might go

I don't know if you might go

[outro]

What I Don't Know

Lyrics 

Intro:
Every time I talk, I fall
Dreams align with the stars
Giving hope to better parts

Verse 1:
I get wrapped, curled into you
Crash down, falling on the ground
Thought I was strong ‘til I was found
Mind twisted, wrapped around
Every late night talk, we start
Eyes bloodshot, crazy dry—but it’s all blue
Looking through me, I see you
Numbers align, don’t say it ain’t true
All this time spent—it has to be you

Chorus:
Today, it’s fear—believing now in something real
Scared because it’s you, I can tell in everything I do
Haven’t risked losing what felt right for so long
It’s me—so do I belong?
Nothing had me wrapped quite like this
Lost in the sound of your smile
It’s been a while—now that part creeps back in
Floating away—it’s a dream born in parts I thought no longer lived

Bridge:
As the rain falls outside my window
All I hear is your words as this falls
Streaming memories down—created bliss
The parts inside, we build this chest

Verse 2:
Weaving some sort of map
Together—could this be our path?
With dots and dashed lines
It’s a treasure marked by you
Fingers trace an image, your voice
Finding love nowhere close

Outro:
Floating away—lost in your sound
It’s been a while since I felt found


Floating Away

Microwave dinners, neon malls
a dark sedan with big whitewalls
VHS that chewed the spool
Getting up late, to get to school-

Payphones ringing and pocket change
Mixtapes labeled weird and strange
Locker slammed and hallways roaring
Love notes folded never boring...
 It’s cool.

AOL- the dial-up song
Mom picked up, the net was gone not cool!
Chatroom heartbreaks, hacker tools-
you've got mail and oh
John Hughes!
He was cool

prom night flowers, rented suits
midnight drives and moonwalk boots...
love was fragile, fierce, and true
and Through it all, our friends were glue!

Cheap tattoos and lava lamps
Polaroids of summer camps
Blockbuster late fees and chewing gum
First heartbreak to make us stunned
parking lots and summer rain-
writing names on windowpanes-
how the smallest things remain
to do it over again-  

daily classes and  drama queens
Tamagotchis and store bought rings-
CD bootlegs drinking gin
couldn't wait to get out again....

All our glitches made us human
came out broken, but  hangin' strong
life has a way of movin' along
ya-
It’s cool.
so cool
living the 80's was livin' to rule
IT's COOL 
cool.

It’s Cool (The 80’s)
