"I Wanna Know" lyrics

In my defense, I'm not the one that put this off
But even when I let you in, you still got lost

There's no need to pretend that we're friends
When I know what you're really here for
I can see what you hide in your eyes
Even through all the cigarette smoke

Now I barely know ya
I don't wanna know ya

Lost beneath the waves
I can't let go, I can't hold on
Lost and swept away
I can't console what you've become
'Cause I barely know ya
I don't wanna know ya

My mind plays tricks under my skin
I feel shut off
Every now and then the room just spins
I can't make it stop

I can see what you hide in your eyes
Recognize you're not who you were before
I try to survive at all costs
Terrified that I'll never get home

Lost beneath the waves
I can't let go, I can't hold on
Lost and swept away
I can't console what you've become
'Cause I barely know ya
I don't wanna know ya

Step back, step back, just take a moment
And I step back, step back, just take a moment
And I step back, step back, just take a moment
And I step back, step back, b-, b-
Step back, step back, just take a moment
And I step back, step back, just take a moment
And I step back, step back, just take a moment
And I step back, step back, b-

Lost beneath the waves
I can't let go, I can't hold on
Lost and swept away
I can't console what you've become
'Cause I barely know ya

Step back, step back, just take a moment
And I step back, step back, just take a moment
I wanna know ya
And I step back, step back, just take a moment
And I step back, step back

But even when I let you in
You still got lost
