Tom Williams - Something I Should Know (Junior)

The sun's behind the clouds for the moment
I tell my mom as she packs the food away
It's times like these when you'll remember the moment
Long after you've stood to go away

I hold in one hand a pencil to do my homework
The other scratches my head in disbelief
The lack of voices downstairs add to the voices in my head
Saying that it's all for a purpose

Well I wonder if you know
The times back then we're just a blur
And I can't understand exactly what went on
I knew the truth but I didn't know the why
Even then
15 years ago
Something missing
Something I should know
Something I should know

Talking on the phone till after midnight
Explaining what had happened in my life
To give you an idea of who I am, in person
So maybe you can explain to me my mind

Well I wonder if you know
The times back then we're just a blur
And I can't understand exactly what went on
I knew the truth but I didn't know the why
Even then
15 years ago
Something missing
Something I should know
Something I should know

Well I imagine I'm the boy who rings the church bells
Stick up there in his own world apart
Screaming while the bells drown his sadness
Crying himself to sleep

The sun's behind the clouds for the moment
I tell my wife as she packs the food away
Uncertainty fills the air like the emptiness of hope
When asking for a guarantee of time

So I wonder if you know
The times back then we're just a blur
And I can't understand exactly what went on
I knew the truth but I didn't know the why
Even then
15 years ago
Something missing
Something I should know
Something I should know
