Gotta Know Lyrics

Dinosaur Jr.

I (looked) all around
Opem my eyes I found
You crying, crying on the ground
If I told you then
Now, were you listening?
Now just tell me where, cant pretend
Slippin through my mind
Letting go this time
Will I find you?
Its a special place
Its been hard to taste
If you let me, it wont go to waste
If I let you go, will I ever know
Cause I gotta know, gotta know
Youve been through my mind
Letting go this time
Need to find
When I helped you close
Felt my mind explode
At that point, that point my whole life froze
Cant go back from here
Feelings far from fear
Its over, take my hand, well disappear
I looked all around
Open my eyes I found
You crying, crying on the ground
If I told you then
Were you listening?
Now just tell me where, I cant pretend
Its a special place
Its been hard to taste
If you met me, it wont go to waste
If I let you go, will I ever know?
Cause I gotta know, gotta know
Weve been through my mind
Not letting go this time
Still not fine
