lyrics

I Know You’re There

The grass a little greener
My kiss a little sweeter
Than what you were waiting for
My dreams a little deeper
The stakes a little steeper
Than what you gambled with before

Why won’t you look at me
Why don’t you care?
Why, why won’t you look at me
Why don’t you care?

Can it be, can it be any wonder
That I made this social blunder
And it haunts me every waking day
You never run, you never wander
You’re hiding down under
But there’s electrical current in the air

Why won’t you look at me?
Why, Why don’t you care?
Why won’t you look at me?
Why, Why don’t you care?

The grass a little greener
My kiss a little sweeter
Than what you gambled with before
My dreams a little deeper
The stakes a little steeper
Than what you gambled with before

Why won’t you look at me?
Why, Why don’t you care?
Why won’t you look at me?
Why, Why don’t you care?
Why won’t you look at me?
Why, Why don’t you care?
Why won’t you look at me?
Why, Why don’t you care?
You try to hide from me
But I know you’re there
Why won’t you look at me?
Why, Why don’t you care?
Why won’t you look at me?
Why, Why don’t you care?
Why won’t you look at me?
Why, Why don’t you care?
You try to hide from me
But I know you’re there
