How  will I ever know you enough  to love  you
 if you're hiding  who you are?
 Don't ask me  to explain.
 Don't ask me  to explain.
Who  are you hiding  you from,
 across the table with a penny  in each eye?
 Don't ask me  to explain.
 Don't ask me  to explain.
I'd  like to marry all  of my close  friends,
 And live  in a big house together by  an angry sea.
Am  I the devil's marbles don't  move on without  me
Who  will be watching my body when I sleep?
Who  will I believe in?
 How am I supposed to let it show when I don't even know?
 Don't ask me to explain.
 Don't ask me to explain.
 Besides, I don't want to be the one whose coming out first,
 I'd really like to but I'm just too shy.
 Don't ask me to explain.
 I'd want to marry all of my close friends,
 And live in a big house together by an angry sea.
 Am I the devil's marbles don't move on without me
 Who will be watching my body when I sleep?
 Who will I believe in?
It's  so easy to lie to myself
 and pretend that I  could love  you but I can't
