INTRODUCTION:

(00:23 ) Introduction to "Don't Know Why"


VERSE ONE:

(01:25 ) I waited till I saw the sun

(02:25 ) I don't know why I didn't come

(03:34 ) I left you by the house of fun


VERSE TWO:

(04:37 ) When I saw the break of day

(05:06 ) I wished that I could fly away

(05:37 ) Instead of kneeling in the sand

(06:21 ) Catching teardrops in my hand


CHORUS:

(06:50 ) My heart is drenched in wine

(08:01 ) But you'll be on my mind forever


VERSE THREE:

(08:31 ) Out across the endless sea

(09:21 ) I would die in ecstasy

(09:53 ) But I'll be a bag of bones

(10:43 ) Driving down the road alone


VERSE FOUR:

(11:28 ) Somethin' has to make you run

(12:20 ) I feel as empty as a drum


FINAL THOUGHTS:

(12:56 ) "Don't Know Why" song meaning
