Can’t Explain Lyrics by States

Room to Run

2012

[Verse 1]
I've been thinking, I've been phrasing, I've been making a shelf
To line 'em up long enough to keep it all to myself
These words, they need a night out
Evil, hoping to slow it down

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause at first, there comes a rushing heat
Then all the little feelings start to gather at my feet
And now I know that I'm sounding crazy
But I guess, oh well, I can't explain but

[Chorus]
Feel like I'm under a spell so
Are you bewitching? Are you bewitching?
Feel like I'm under a spell so
Are you innocent or pulling on a puppet string?

[Verse 2]
Well in second, I'm a wreck and I don't want to rebel
There isn't time to wonder why or even think for myself
Caught up, I didn't see it
But, I'm sure I wouldn't care if I had

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause at first, there comes a rushing heat
Then all the little feelings start to gather at my feet
And now I know that I'm sounding crazy
But I guess, oh well, I can't explain but

[Chorus]
Feel like I'm under a spell so
Are you bewitching? Are you bewitching?
Feel like I'm under a spell so
Are you innocent or pulling on a puppet string?

Pulling on a puppet string, oh

[Bridge]
Is something influencing all my decisions? yeah
'Cause I can't seem to think for myself anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause at first, there comes a rushing heat
Then all the little feelings start to gather at my feet
And now I know that I'm sounding crazy
But I guess, oh well, I can't explain but

[Chorus]
Feel like I'm under a spell so
Are you bewitching? Are you bewitching?
Feel like I'm under a spell so
Are you innocent or pulling on a puppet string?
