You Don't Know What's Going On Lyrics - Dotted Line - Nickel Creek

Well, it's time for me to live 

The good life on the road 

And to forgive her 

For the lies that she sold me 

We were falling in love and that's what you do 

I didn't know and I feel like a fool 

Now watching her go 

'Cause I played by the rules 

I guess we were above 

And that's what I get for trying my best 

To believe in her 

To believe I could turn it around 

To keep bailing out the water while the ship went down 

To keep calling her name when we started to drown 

You can tell me I should have known better 

You can ask me why 

I didn't see it coming 

'Til it got inside me 

You can say it's all right 

You can think it's all wrong 

But you don't know what's going on 

You don't know what's going on 

So the road led to your door 

The good life ain't the good life anymore 

If it doesn't include you 

If you send me away 

'Cause you don't believe I tried my best 

To believe in her 

To believe I could turn it around 

To keep bailing out the water while the ship went down 

To keep calling her name when we started to drown 

You can tell me I should have known better 

You can ask me why 

I didn't see it coming 

'Til it got inside me 

You can think it's all wrong 

I can hope it's all right 

But I don't know what's going on 

I just know that I tried and I tried and I'll try for you 

If you want me to 

If you can be the girl who 

Believes in me 

Who believes I can turn it around 

Who keeps bailing out the water while the ship goes down 

Who keeps calling my name when we're starting to drown 

I'll never tell you you should have known better 

Never ask you why 

You didn't see it coming 

'Til it got inside you 

It can turn out all right 

Or it can turn out all wrong 

We just don't know what's going on 

I don't know what's going on 

You don't know what's going on 

You don't know what's going on
