Music to Walk Home By Lyrics

[Verse]
But that's only when I think of you (Think of you, think of you)
Some vision that I hold on to (Hold on to, hold on to)
You know it's everything I do (Thing I do, thing I do)
You know it's everything I do (Thing I do)
Can almost stand competing with the others
Can almost hear the fun that I should be having
Instead of all this dreaming
But it's only when I think of you (Think of you, think of you)
The mover I could turn into (Turn into, turn into)
There must be something I can do (I can do, I can do)
Yeah, there must be something I can do

[Chorus]
I just don't know how to feel right
A beautiful girl is wasting my life
I'm playing a part as somebody else
While tryin' so hard to be myself
I just need to hear somebody say
This will all make sense one day
I guess I'm alright, but they're all doing so well
What I would give to be under that spell

[Post-Chorus]
You'll know soon
You'll know soon
You'll know soon
You'll know soon
You'll know soon (Yeah)
You'll know soon (Yeah)
You'll know soon (Yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Bridge]
But you don't know the truth
I'm in love with you
You just don't believe
In anything I do

[Chorus]
In so many ways I'm somebody else
While tryin' so hard to be myself

I just need to hear somebody say
This will all make sense one day
Well it's getting late, I'd better go
I made it this far as far as I know

[Outro]
In so many ways I'm somebody else
While tryin' so hard to be myself
I just need to hear somebody say
This will all make...

Genius Annotation

“Music to Walk Home By” is Kevin Parker coming at odds with the reclusive lifestyle he’s placed for himself, and the social life that his girlfriend encourages him to lead. He’s initially stubborn in his convictions, blaming his girlfriend for challenging his philosophy of being alone- but by the end of the song he’s left confused and hopes to make sense of what is best for him.
