Who Knows? Who Cares? by Heath McNease Lyrics
[Intro: Local Natives]
I've been going down
Down into the river baby
Listen to the sounds
Is my life about to change?
Who knows?
Who cares?
[Verse 1: Heath McNease]
They asking me if I'm prepared
I say I don't know and I don't care
All these worries never add an hour to your life
They just steal from all your days and take away from all your nights
They ask me all about my past
I say I don't know
It's good and bad
But if it didn't kill me then it made me strong
Then it made me strong enough to learn
And if I haven't learned my lesson I pray I get another turn
'Cause fire is just a word until you burn yourself
And a lesson ain't a lesson until you've learned it well
And a resolution's pointless if you never really mean it
But are these resolutions borne out of our comfort or convenience?
'Cause struggle is just a word until you lose control
But if you choose to grow, convenience is a word you'll say you used to know
'cause I can't add a single hour to my life
But I'm convinced that if I could
I'd spend it counting down the time
[Hook]
Who knows? Who cares?
Who knows? Who cares?
Who knows? Who cares?
Who knows? Who cares?
I don't know and I don't care
No, I don't know and I don't care
Who knows? Who cares?
Who knows? Who cares?
Who knows? Who cares?
Who knows? Who cares?
I don't know and I don't care
No, I don't know and I don't care
[Verse 2: Heath McNease]
They're asking me if I get scared
I say I don't know and I don't care
'Cause if life is just what happens when we're busy making plans
Then tomorrow is a concept I don't have to understand
If you keep asking me about my future
I say maybe y'all should have asked me sooner
'Cause I used to swear the universe was bending to my will
Now it’s bending to the will of every sin that's in me still
‘Cause sin is just a word until you find forgiveness
And forgiveness don't mean nothing till you find redemption
And a sinner's prayer is pointless if you never really mean it
And a scar isn't a scar just 'cause a doubting Thomas sees it
And a head full of doubts ain't some indictment on your soul
But a soul full of fear is an indictment on your growth
And I can't add a single hour to my days
But I'm convinced that if I could, I'd pray that time wasn't a waste
[Hook]
Who knows? Who cares?
Who knows? Who cares?
Who knows? Who cares?
Who knows? Who cares?
I don't know and I don't care
No, I don't know and I don't care
Who knows? Who cares?
Who knows? Who cares?
Who knows? Who cares?
Who knows? Who cares?
I don't know and I don't care
No, I don't know and I don't care
[Interlude]
This is not the end
This is the beginning, baby
Where we go from here
Something only God knows
We'll figured it out
I can't stay
I don't know what's next but my life's about to change
[Hook]
Who knows? Who cares?
Who knows? Who cares?
Who knows? Who cares?
Who knows? Who cares?
I don't know and I don't care
No, I don't know and I don't care
Who knows? Who cares?
Who knows? Who cares?
Who knows? Who cares?
Who knows? Who cares?
I don't know and I don't care
No, I don't know and I don't care
I've been going down
Down into the river baby
Listen to the sounds
Is my life about to change?
Who knows?
Who cares?
