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
Its pale even in a warm summers day
It stretches into the mist and calls me
But I dont 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
Its old and mossy, covered in dead leaves
It stands with an engraving on it surface
But I dont 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
Its hard and shining in shades of grey
No footsteps ever made their marks
And I dont 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
Its cold and clear and carries a tune
But I dont know what it sings and tells
I dont 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)
