"If You Don't Know By Now" lyrics

Dirt and dust
Leaves all in your hair
Turn to rust

Understanding why
When you reach for what you want
You realize
You're standing in the cold light of the sun
Understanding why
When you seek what's left behind
You realize
You wake up from the dream that you forgot

And what do you wait for?
Look into the past and search forever
If you don't know by now
Then baby, you'll find out
It's all washed away now
It's never coming back
You want an answer?
If you don't know by now
Then baby you'll find out

Understanding why
In the darkness of the night
You realize
You're standing in the cold light of the sun
On a standing wire
What's beneath you's out of sight
And out of mind
Awake inside the dream that you forgot

And what do you wait for?
Look into the past and search forever
If you don't know by now
Then baby, you'll find out
It's all washed away now
It's never coming back
You want an answer?
If you don't know by now
Then baby you'll find out

Can never go back
Where you've gone before
And all this time...
I
Can never go back where I've gone before
And I don't know why

And what do you wait for?
Look into the past and search forever
If you don't know by now
Then baby, you'll find out
It's all washed away now
It's never coming back
You want an answer?
If you don't know by now
Then baby you'll find...
