lyrics
What’s it for?
What’s it for?
What’s it for?
I don’t know anything, anymore
Who am I?
Who am I?
Who am I?
I watch the day go by
What’s a lie?
What’s a lie?
What’s a lie?
Why can’t I believe anything I hear?
Where’s the wind?
Where’s the stars in the sky?
I don’t wish anything, anymore
I’m thinking back to all the games that I would play
Walk to my calendar, cross off another day
I don’t remember how to sing, “Down By The Bay”
Oh why oh why oh why?
Oh why oh why oh why?
What’s that song?
What’s that song that I like?
I can’t remember, anymore
Where’s the time?
Where’s the time?
Where’s the time?
It pulls me farther from
When I was young
I would stare at the sky
I thought that angels would fly by
What’s a laugh?
What’s a bell?
What’s a scream?
I don’t hear anything, anymore
I’m thinking back to all the games that I would play
Walk to my calendar, cross off another day
I don’t remember how to sing, “Down By The Bay”
Oh why oh why oh why?
Oh why oh why oh why?
What’s it for?
What’s it for?
I don’t know anything, anymore
Who am I?
Who am I?
Who am I?
I watch the day go by
What’s a lie?
What’s a lie?
What’s a lie?
Why can’t I believe anything I hear?
Where’s the wind?
Where’s the stars in the sky?
I don’t wish anything, anymore
I’m thinking back to all the games that I would play
Walk to my calendar, cross off another day
I don’t remember how to sing, “Down By The Bay”
Oh why oh why oh why?
Oh why oh why oh why?
What’s that song?
What’s that song that I like?
I can’t remember, anymore
Where’s the time?
Where’s the time?
Where’s the time?
It pulls me farther from
When I was young
I would stare at the sky
I thought that angels would fly by
What’s a laugh?
What’s a bell?
What’s a scream?
I don’t hear anything, anymore
I’m thinking back to all the games that I would play
Walk to my calendar, cross off another day
I don’t remember how to sing, “Down By The Bay”
Oh why oh why oh why?
Oh why oh why oh why?
