[Verse 1]

What is this about?

Where is everybody going?

What am I doing here?

Can't separate what I really need to know and

What I just want to hear

Maybe I'm alone

Maybe everybody's lost too

Looking for a way out

Maybe I don't know

Maybe I don't even want to

Just don't want to be let down

[Pre-Chorus 1]

There is no sureness, I kind of just stumble along

There must be purpose in trying to keep on

[Chorus]

What do I know?

I'm a child

Just trying to talk like a mother does

Seeing life come and go all the time

It's never as long as you wish it was, oh-oh-oh

Maybe I'm still trying to see like a child does

[Verse 2]

And I always feel like I did when I was younger

Can't talk sense into me

How do you decide when to know or how to wonder

Or how to just get free?

[Pre-Chorus 2]

There's no certainty, I kind of just stumble along

Doesn't bother me, I'm trying to keep on

[Chorus]

What do I know?

I'm a child

Just trying to talk like a mother does

Seeing life come and go all the time

It's never as long as you wish it was, oh-oh-oh

Maybe I'm still trying to see like a child does

[Bridge]

I've seen both sides of the door

I'm not a child anymore

But I can stand in it the way I did when I was a kid

[Breakdown]

What do I know?

I'm a child

Just trying to talk like a mother does

Seeing life come and go all the time

It's never as long as you wish it was

[Chorus]

What do I know?

I'm a child

Just trying to talk like a mother does

Seeing life come and go all the time

It's never as long as you wish it was, oh-oh-oh

Maybe I'm still trying to see like a child does

[Outro]

Maybe I'm still trying to see like a child does
