Lyrics Inexplicable - The Correspondents

Inexplicable

Inexplicably high, inexplicably low
I think I know what I want but I dont know where to go
And all the while it seems that I’m living in my dreams
Not in the know, no, not in the know
When I was four i raised my finger to a moving car
It crashed so i assumed i got a superpower
I didn’t raise that finger until I was nine
When a schoolboy attacked father twenty-five times
Down I went, my index still low
So convinced that he was just gone
Powerless to make it stop
Powerless to make it stop…
Inexplicably high, inexplicably low
I think I know what I want but I dont know where to go
And all the while it seems that I’m living in my dreams
Not in the know, no, not in the know
At nineteen, I still just about believed in God
I guess that I was pretty late to shake it off
Faulty magical whispers and a man who could mend
I tricked myself in thinking he could cure my best friend
Two weeks in, his insides gave up
The drugs can’t help, why would words bring him love
Powerless to make it stop
Powerless to make it stop…
Inexplicably high, inexplicably low
I think I know what I want but I dont know where to go
And all the while it seems that I’m living in my dreams
Not in the know, no, not in the know
Now my hands are pulling up a donkey’s reins
I feel I’ve done the wrong move down a dusty lane
The grass could have been greener down the first road I took
I’d give up my happiness just for one look
But that’s doing what’s beating me up
The game I can’t win up against my own clock
Powerless to make it stop
Powerless to make it stop…
Inexplicably high, inexplicably low
I think I know what I want but I dont know where to go
And all the while it seems that I’m living in my dreams
Not in the know, no, not in the know
