Until I Know About Me       by William Thompson (The TrueVulgarians)

Verse one

I don’t know about you, but I like bad weather

With darkness, thunder and crackling skies.

I don’t know about you, but I like sad stories

With unhappy endings and tearful goodbyes.

When darkness falls and up go the walls,

Make us blind to all the things you held dear. 

Must accept the hopeless tragic truth

The world’s driven by desire and fear.

Verse two

I don’t know about you, but I like danger

It heightens the senses, makes you feel alive 

I don’t know about you, but I like strangers

Who know nothin’ about me and won’t even try

When darkness falls and up go the walls,

Blind to all the things that you held dear. 

Must accept the hopeless tragic truth

The world’s driven by desire and fear.

Chorus

I don’t know about you and I doubt we’ll ever agree

Ain’t even tryin’ to change your mind, believe what your eyes don’t see

I can’t know nothin’ about you until I know about me.

Verse three

I don’t know about you but I like hurt and pain

Shows just how much I’m misunderstood.

I don’t know about you but I don’t always say

The things you wanna hear though you wish I would.

When darkness falls and up go the walls,

Blind to all the things you hold dear. 

Must accept the hopeless tragic truth

The world’s driven by desire and fear.

Verse four

I don’t know about you but I like dumb questions

I can laugh to myself when providing direction. 

I don’t know about you but I like rejection

When I’ve make up my mind, and don’t need your suggestions.

When darkness falls and up go the walls,

Blind to all the things you hold dear. 

Must accept the hopeless tragic truth

The world’s driven by desire and fear.

Chorus   

I don’t know about you and I doubt we’ll ever agree

Ain’t even tryin’ to change your mind, believe what your eyes don’t see

I can’t know nothin’ about you until I know about me.

Outro

No, I don’t know nothin’ about you until I know about me

Just a tune based on some thoughts that kept running through my head...
