What You Can’t Look Up
I wanna know what you can't look up
I wanna go where you can't show me on a map
I wanna see something
I wanna see something you can't replay me
I wanna be what you can't prove you are on a screen
I wanna hear a story you can't share in a series of characters
I wanna hear secrets a microphone can't pick up
(What will you find?)
To the mountain's peak to the river's edge
To the open sky to the roads ahead
To the fields beyond my sight to the city lights
Far away from home, and I wanna know (What will you find?)
From an old song, from a mother's voice
From a fading dream, from a different choice
From the schoolyard to the desert dust (In the arms of)
And I wanna know (The arms of the unknown)
I wanna know what you can't look up
I wanna fall into the category no one can name
I wanna taste what they can't make in a lab
I wanna smell what they can't sell you in some store
I wanna touch where they can't tell you how you look
I wanna hear music you can't listen to twice
I wanna hear music you can't listen to twice
I wanna hear music that sounds like the eye of an ocean storm
To the river’s edge to the open sky to the roads ahead
From an ancient sound to the city lights
Far away from home, and I wanna know (What will you find?)
From an old song from a past life
From a fading dream in the broken heart in my father's voice
From a bloodline to the stars at night (In the arms of)
The current comes, and I have no choice (The arms of the unknown)
I don't have a picture, I don't have a name
I don't have directions, I don't have a face
I don't have the steps, no, I don't have a guide
I don't have an appointment, I don't have a sense of time
I don't have the coordinates, I don't have the password
I don't have the codes, I don't have a number
I don't have a single word
But I'll know it when I see it
I'll know it when I feel it (In the arms of)
I'll know you when I see you (The arms of the unknown)
And I wanna know
I wanna know what you can't look up
