THE QUESTION IS​.​.​.

about

My pal, Ricky McLean, recently said, about a friend of ours: 'he doesn't know who he is'. This navel gazing song somewhat covers, without answering, that leading Cheshire Cat statement.

lyrics

THE QUESTION IS…

the question is
what i’m asking
lookin’
in the mirror
& the face i see
is it me?
r someone new?
someone who
is lost again?
the question is…

who are you now?
who are you now?
who are you now?
who are you now?

have I changed?
r am I still the same?
1st person
songs
drive me crazy
but still i
i want t know
i need t know
the answer
escapes me baby

who are you now?
who are you now?
who are you now?
who are you now?

i’m walking’ up the stairs
i’m climbing’ out a window
the sky
so beautiful

i’m gonna wake up
i’m gonna wake up
i’m gonna wake up
i see yr face
it’s the same as mine
i’m gonna wake up
i’m gonna wake up
