Because I don’t really want to know you, and I don’t really want to try

Something Stop Me

Lyrics by Meredith DiMenna

Music by Meredith DiMenna and Keith Saunders

The light, the light that bathed me

Cleaned my lens that I didn’t know was dirty

How long, how long have I been here, crying in the shower

I think it’s been a minute, the sun says an hour

I had my eyes closed and I was thinking of imaginary lines that I never cross

Something always stops me

What is there when you decline to take another?

What is there when you politely refuse?

You think it’s only there to catch you when you drop

Do you know there’s power there for you to use?

So I do what we all do, start by grabbing your attention

But then the song is over before the point is mentioned

Some things can’t be seen before they arrive

Things can’t be examined before they’re realized

Something always stops me

What is there when you decide to take another?

What is there when you forget all your blues?

You think they fly away, you hope the pain will stop

Do you know, you gave away all your clues?

What is there when you decline to take another?

What is there when you politely refuse?

You think it’s only there to catch you when you drop

Do you know there’s power there for you to use?
