I have a woman inside my soul,
Her eyes sombre and sad.
She waves her hand to try to reach me,
But i can't hear what she says.

I wish i knew what she says,
I wish i knew what she wants,
I wish i knew what she says to me,
I wish i knew what she means to me.

I see an asphalt road inside my soul,
It's pale even in a warm summer's day.
It stretches into the mist and calls me,
But i don't know what it takes.

I wish i knew what it takes, (i wish i knew)
I wish i knew what it gives, (i wish i knew)
I wish i knew what it says to me, (i wish i knew)
I wish i knew what it means to me. (i wish i knew)

I see a tombstone inside my soul,
It's old and mossy, covered in dead leaves.
It stands with an engraving on it surface,
But i don't know what it reads.

I wish i knew what it reads, (i wish i knew)
I wish i knew what it says, (i wish i knew)
I wish i knew what it says to me, (i wish i knew)
I wish i knew what it means to me. (i wish i knew)

(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey)

I feel snow covering inside my soul,
It's hard and shining in shades of grey.
No footsteps ever made their marks,
And i don't know when it melts.

I wish i knew when it melts, (i wish i knew)
I wish i knew when it happens, (i wish i knew)
I wish i knew if it happens at all, (i wish i knew)
I wish i knew what it means to me. (i wish i knew)

I hear a stream running inside my soul,
It's cold and clear and carries a tune.
But i don't know what it sings and tells,
I don't know where it goes.

I wish i knew what it sings,
I wish i knew where it goes,
I wish i knew what it sings, (i wish i knew)
I wish i knew where it goes, (i wish i knew)
I wish i knew what it sings. (i wish i knew)

(i wish i knew)
(i wish i knew) (yeah!)
(i wish i knew)
(i wish i knew)
