[VERSE]
CIf how it Ggoes is a gFrand goodbye and final picture show
Then Cbe, in the Gend, in The CFarmike with a hip flask and your friends
[CHORUS]
And we aFll wanna fGind that life, like kissing
At lFeast for a whGile fills up what’s missing
But I don’t knFow everything
[VERSE]
CLater, wGhen shuFffle man arrives to tuck you in
CTry to recGall how your fFather’s face was handsome after all
[CHORUS]
And I hFope that dGeath, like love and like Jesus
Will stFeal our bGreath, if they come, I believe it
But I don’t kFnow everything
[VERSE]
CWhat to dGo?
We are nFonplussed on the subject of what’s true
CI’ll turn a cGorner when I can sFay I’m unafraid of being wrong again
[VERSE]
Saying “I don’t Gknow”
There’s no shFame in it
Or I’m lFost I’m lost I’m lost I’m lost
