Analysis of Don’t Know
I’m walking across a bridge to the other side.
I don’t really feel dead or alive.
Blood on my clothes, blood in my nose.
Guess that pretty girl I couldn’t hold.
The air was cold and the sky was red.
I hear her singing as the branches bled.
I’m walking across a bridge to the other side.
I don’t really feel dead or alive.
I don’t know.
I don’t know.
Blood on my clothes, blood in my nose.
I guess that pretty girl I couldn’t hold.
I don’t know.
I don’t know.
I’m walking across a bridge to the other side.
I made friends with the city lights.
I tried and I tried.
Blame me I’m the fall guy.
Save me oh Lord can we
Can we wait till sunrise
I’m walking across a bridge to the other side.
I don’t really feel dead or alive.
I don’t know.
I don’t know.
Blood on my clothes, blood in my nose.
I guess that pretty girl I couldn’t hold.
I don’t know.
I don’t know.
