Question Lyrics - If I Had A Hi-fi - Nada Surf

Why do we never get an answer 

When we're knocking at the door? 

With a thousand million questions 

About hate and death and war. 

It's where we stop and look around us 

There is nothing that we need. 

In a world of persecution 

That is burning in it's greed. 

Why do we never get an answer 

When we're knocking at the door? 

Because the truth is hard to swallow 

That's what the wall of love is for. 

It's not the way that you say it 

When you do those things to me. 

It's more the way that you mean it 

When you tell me what will be. 

And when you stop and think about it 

You won't believe it's true. 

That all the love you've been giving 

Has all been meant for you. 

I'm looking for someone to change my life. 

I'm looking for a miracle in my life. 

And if you could see what it's done to me 

To lose the the love I knew 

Could safely lead me through. 

Between the silence of the mountains 

And the crashing of the sea 

There lies a land I once lived in 

And she's waiting there for me. 

But in the grey of the morning 

My mind becomes confused 

Between the dead and the sleeping 

And the road that I must choose. 

I'm looking for someone to change my life. 

I'm looking for a miracle in my life. 

And if you could see what it's done to me 

To lose the the love I knew 

Could safely lead me to 

The land that I once knew. 

To learn as we grow old 

The secrets of our souls. 

It's not the way that you say it 

When you do those things to me. 

It's more the way you really mean it 

When you tell me what will be. 

Why do we never get an answer 

When we're knocking at the door? 

With a thousand million questions 

About hate and death and war. 

It's where we stop and look around us 

There is nothing that we need. 

In a world of persecution 

That is burning in it's greed. 

Why do we never get an answer 

When we're knocking at the door?
