[Verse 1]
As I took step number four
Into the close of your tenement
You cast your darkened eyes so low
Said we're cold as the step cement
[Chorus]
But I just don't know
Oh, what you meant
What you meant
[Verse 2]
So Alex, you may want a pill
We are so cruel, and to communicate
Without the red stuff being spilled
We must MDMA our sentiment
[Chorus]
But I just don't know
What you meant
What you meant
What you meant
[Verse 3]
If we were feckless, we'd be fine
Sucking hard on our innocence
But we've been bright in our decline
Been left as blackened filament
[Chorus]
But I just don't know
Oh, what you meant
What you meant
Mmm
[Verse 4]
'Cause I feel blood inside the vein
Yeah, I feel life inside the ligament
I feel alive, yeah, just the same
Same vigour and the same intent
[Chorus]
But I just don't know
If that's what you meant
