Lyrics

[Spoken Intro] What'd you want to talk about? [Verse 1] Got holy water on your face Crucible in the world's embrace 'Cause everyone found the ocean Deeper than you thought it was Bitter scares on the front page Names are shaming in useless rage What can I do but check the score Before I'm out the front door? [Spoken Interlude] I was always able to make my own decisions I was quite strong in that That's one thing I was quite positive about To make my own decisions in what I wanted to do [Chorus] And I thought I'd know more by now When does it slow down? And I thought I'd have done more by now When does it work out? [Verse 2] I said some words that didn't grow So they forgot me some time ago Now I'll just keep running around 'Til I've found what I need to know As I'm growing, I seem to know less Well, there's more I know that I don't know yet But if I were to guess, most would confess They're just running around in the same old mess, but [Chorus] And I thought I'd know more by now When does it work out? And I thought I'd have done more by now When does it slow down? [Verse 3] Take a breath, it's gone too fast Look at all these people pass Sunburnt faces on the big screen of the pretty past Was it all the words they said? I play them slow to ease my head Got a million moments and I play them from my little bed [Chorus] And I thought I'd know more by now When does it slow down? And I thought I'd have done more by now When does it work out? And I thought I'd know more by now [Spoken Outro] Yeah, but it's racing along recording me now So how do I stop that?
