"Do I Know?"

[Verse 1] What do we really know ‘bout the ones we hold close Do we see who they are, or just what we’re shown Do I know who I am, when the day’s said and done Or just chasing the hours, like everyone [Verse 2] Do we ever slow down, think about who we’ve been Or just live in the now, same as time’s always been Every generation walking the same kind of line Living mostly for self, one day at a time [Chorus] Do I know who I am Or just who I became Somewhere between plans And the turns life gave Do we ever see clear Or just drift on through Do I know myself Like I thought I knew [Verse 3] I remember as a kid, wanting coins in my hand But that wasn’t our way, that just wasn’t the plan I was drawing my world, with a pencil and page Thought I might turn that into something one day [Verse 4] There was talk of an uncle, a life that he led A commercial artist, that’s what Mum always said So I followed that feeling, thought it might be my road Funny how early ideas quietly grow [Chorus] Do I know who I am Or just who I became Somewhere between plans And the turns life gave Do we ever see clear Or just drift on through Do I know myself Like I thought I knew [Verse 5] Never wanted much more, didn’t long for the best No fancy clothes or shoes, never felt that unrest But I made my own tops, for my sister and me And I felt kinda proud of what I could be [Verse 6] I wanted to teach, had it set in my mind But I fell just short, left that path behind Back then there were no second chances to take And one moment like that can shape every break [Bridge] It’s strange looking back at the roads that we miss How a life can be built out of moments like this All the paths that we planned, and the ones we outgrew Still echo somehow in the things that we do [Final Chorus] Do I know who I am Or just who I became Somewhere between plans And the turns life gave Do we ever see clear Or just drift on through Do I know myself… Like I thought I knew [Outro] Hmm… Maybe we’re all still figuring it through [music outro fade]
