菅野よう子 (Yoko Kanno)
What’s it For
[Verse]
I'm not too sure that I can go much further
I'm really not sure things are even getting better
I'm so tired of the me that has to disagree
I'm so tired of the me that's in control

[Chorus]
I woke up to see the sun shining all around me
How could it shine down on me?
You'd think that it would notice I can't take anymore
Had to ask myself, what's it really for?

[Verse]
Everything I tried to do, it didn't matter
And now I might be better off just rolling over
'Cause you know I tried so hard but couldn't change a thing
And it hurt so much I might as well let go

[Chorus]
I can't really take the sun shining all around me
Why would it shine down on me?
You'd think that it would notice I no longer believe
Can't help telling myself it don't mean a thing

[Instrumental break]
[Chorus]
I woke up to see the sun shining all around me
How could it shine down on me?
Sunshine in all its beauty
Why would it shine down on me?
You'd think that it would notice I can't take anymore
Just had to ask myself, what's it really for?
