[Verse 1]
As I took step number four
Into the close of your tenement
You cast your darkened eyes so low
Said we're cold as the step cement

[Chorus]
But I just don't know
Oh, what you meant
What you meant

[Verse 2]
So Alec, you may want a pill
We are so cruel, and to communicate
Without the red stuff being spilled
We must MDMA our sentiment

[Chorus]
Oh, but I just don't know
Oh, what you meant
What you meant
What you meant

[Verse 3]
If we were feckless, we'd be fine
Sucking hard on our innocence
But we've been bright in our decline
Been left as blackened filament
[Chorus]
But I just don't know, oh
Oh, I don't know
No, I don't know
No, I don't know (What did you mean?)
No, I don't know (What did you mean?)
No, I don't know (What did you mean?)
No, I don't know

[Post-Chorus]
I've got to get away from
I've got to get away from you

[Verse 4]
But I feel blood inside the vein
I feel life inside the ligament
I feel alive, yeah, just the same
Same vigour and the same intent

[Chorus]
Oh, but I just don't know
Oh, if that's what you meant
