It's not a question 'bout me
The answer's buried deep in you
I wish that you could agree
That one of us has to take the lead

Take a look around you
Tell me, what do you see and how does it feel
Is it in there, and totally clear
Can I be sure that you understand

I wish I knew how to survive
Survival is all I'm asking for
What would you do if I told you to
Put on your coat and walk out the door

It's not a question 'bout you
I smell the truth, close by me now
I wish I could understand
The meaning of words that float in my mind

Take a look around us
Tell me, what do you feel and how does it smell
Is it in there, and totally clear
And can I be sure that you understand

I wish I knew how to survive
Survival is all I'm asking for
What would you do if I told you to
Put on your coat and walk out the door

I should be close by now
Close to the truth
You would be by my side
If you could see

I wish I knew how to survive
Survival is all I'm asking for
What would you do if I told you to
Put on your coat and walk out the door
