I Can't Explain

(album: 1000 Palms - 2015)

On a New Year's Eve
Celebrations full of life
At a loss for words
And eye contact throughout the night
Lost in our game we play
Faces trying to look sincere
But it's alright tonight
If I never stray too far from here

I can't explain
I can't explain

I can't explain
I can't explain

We're a rare isotope
Not commonly found in cities like these
Ordinary words on
Methylenedioxyamphetamine
You're the girl of my dreams
Trapped within my false awakenings
Forgotten, you're not sure
A recurring first meeting

If we're nothing
Disguised as something
I can almost taste your lips
Our eyes close in full eclipse
Your taste is sour
With bitter carbon
And I can open your mind
And hold me inside

And open your mind
(I can't explain)
(I can't explain)
And open your mind
(You're the only one who)
(You're the only one who)

And open your mind
(I can't explain)
(I can't explain)
And open your mind
(You're the only one who)
(You're the only one who)

And open your mind
(I can't explain)
(I can't explain)
And open your mind
(You're the only one who)
(You're the only one who)

And open your mind
(I can't explain)
(I can't explain)
And open your mind
(You're the only one who)
(You're the only one who)

And open your mind
(I can't explain)
(I can't explain)
And open your mind
(You're the only one who)
(You're the only one who)

And open your mind
(I can't explain)
(I can't explain)
And open your mind
(You're the only one who)
(You're the only one who)

I can't explain
I can't explain

I can't explain
I can't explain

I can't explain
I can't explain

I can't explain
I can't explain

I can't explain
I can't explain

I can't explain
I can't explain

I can't explain
I can't explain
