Something Mysterious

from Not Soon Enough by Andy McGarvie

lyrics

Listen I maintain that I’ve been something less than perfect
But I maintain that I have tried my very best
And it’s not because I didn’t think you’re worth it
It’s just that I don’t know what I’m doing

Sometimes I know I seem quite apathetic
And I know sometimes it looks like I don’t care
But the truth is I’m just figuring it all out
And I still don’t know what I’m doing

Though I want the answers from something mysterious
I know that I can’t know every detail
So darling let me say if we are serious
The only way to get it right’s to fail
Then keep trying again

Listen I admit that I have done wrong by you before
But you’ll admit you’ve hardly been a saint yourself
I’ll just smile and tell you it’ll all be ok
But we’ll never know quite what we’re doing

Though I want the answers from something mysterious
I know that I can’t know every detail
So darling let me say if we are serious
The only way to get it right’s to fail
Then keep trying again

Could it be that we might find
All the answers on the way
If we just lean on each other
We’ll be ok

Though I want the answers from something mysterious
I know I can’t ever know every detail
So darling let me say if we are serious
The only way to get it right’s to fail


Listen I maintain that I’ve been something less than perfect
But I maintain that I’ll keep trying my very best
