Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I want to start a new life
With my valuable hunting knife
She will shine like a new girl
And I want to shout out our love to the world, hit it!
[Chorus]
Everything I think about, I think about
Everything I talk about, I talk about with you
But you don’t know what I go through
You don’t know
[Verse 2]
Days, they will turn into nights
But my valuable hunting knifeIt will not rust through the tears
And it will not lose its appeal over the years, come on!
[Chorus]
Everything I think about, I think about
Everything I talk about, I talk about with you
But you don’t know what I go through
You don’t know
[Outro]
I’ll never know
I’ll never know
I’ll never know
And then I will run, and then I will
And then I will hide, and then I will
And then I will run, and then I will
And then I will hideI’ll never know
I’ll never know
