Lyrics I Don't Know Who I Am - Lee Ranaldo , The Cribs

Sometimes I think it′s strange I'll never see you
Then I realize
I′ve been watching you my whole life
In every look I don't recognize
Every feature in my face with no relation
From my mother's side shows where we came from
I was looking so hard I missed the sign
That I′d been waiting for
An obituary wrote in the local paper
From a town that is no more
Carrying this around gains nothing
But I′m fool enough to care, brave enough to try
I tried it
You know I tried it
I tried it
Are you a raw nerve like I am or are you more like
The bathrooms in the park?
Closed for the season every season
Seen in the lighter's spark
The moment that the world began, it′s ending
Captured by chance on a field recording
We caught it
It's not important
You wouldn′t love me
Keep out of my way, I'm not in your way
You wouldn′t love me
Descend a marble staircase, slap me in my face
I don't know who I am
There's a telegraph pole reminds me of you
Its shadow against the sky
Buzzing in the night, but no one gets through
No longer on the line
Messages unheard are staying that way
Bouncing back like echoes in the valley
In the valley
In the valley
You wouldn′t love me
Keep out of my way, I′m not in your way
You wouldn't love me
Descend a marble staircase, slap me in my face
I don′t know who I am, ooh
I don't know who I am, ooh
I don′t know who I am
I don't know who I am
