Who Knows
Contemplating Life's Uncertainties: "Who Knows" by John Miles
Lyrics
Going round in circles
Feeling stuck in repetitive patterns or situations.
When gone too far to start again
Having gone too far to reset or begin again.
Knock it down then pick it up
Destroying something and then trying to rebuild it.
Say you will but never stop
Making promises to change but not following through.
Put your fortune on the wheel
Taking risks with luck or fate.
Just another shady deal
Engaging in dubious or questionable deals.
Use it all then take it back
Using up resources and then reclaiming them.
I'd say for certain you're the one who's hurting now
Pointing out that someone else is now experiencing pain.
Like you never did before
Experiencing a level of pain previously unknown.
Life is closing every door
Opportunities in life are diminishing.
Can it hurt you anymore?
Questioning if there can be more emotional pain.
Who knows, would you believe it, would it help me if you were told?
Expressing uncertainty and seeking validation.
Who knows, take it or leave it, who knows what the future holds?
Considering options without knowing the outcome.
There's a trick in every line
There's deception or hidden agendas in every communication.
It could beat you every time
Being vulnerable to deception each time.
Any special thing you say makes it better right away
Positive words can temporarily improve situations.
If you never want to lose
Advising caution to avoid losing.
Be more careful when you choose
Being careful in decision-making to avoid negative consequences.
You can throw it all away
Suggesting a willingness to discard everything.
Take it for granted, wishing that you had it now
Taking things for granted, only appreciating them in their absence.
Seeing someone else, not me
Observing someone else in a situation meant for oneself.
This is not how it should be
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current situation.
I can change it, wait and see
Believing in the ability to change things positively.
Who knows, won't you believe it, would it help me if you were so?
Reiterating the need for belief and validation.
Who knows, take it or leave it, who knows what the future holds?
Weighing options without certainty about the future.
Who knows, won't you believe it, would it help me if you were so?
Seeking belief and validation again.
Who knows, take it or leave it, who knows what the future holds?
Contemplating the uncertain future.
Who knows, won't you believe it, would it help me if you were so?
Repeating the plea for belief and validation.
Who knows, take it or leave it, who knows what the future holds?
Reiterating uncertainty about the future.
Who knows, won't you believe it, would it help me if you were so?
Continuing to seek belief and validation.
Who knows, take it or leave it, who knows what the future holds?
Considering options without a clear outcome.
Who knows, won't you believe it, would it help me if you were so?
Persisting in seeking belief and validation.
Who knows, take it or leave it
Considering options without certainty.
