What You Meant - Franz Ferdinand

As I took step number four

Into the close of your tenement

You cast your darkened eyes so low

Said we’re cold as the step cement

But I just don’t know

Oh what you meant

What you meant

So Alec you may want a pill

We are so cruel and to communicate

Without the red stuff being spilled

We must MDMA our sentiment

But I just don’t know

Oh what you meant

What you meant

What you meant

If we were feckless we’d be fine

Sucking hard on our innocence

But we’ve been bright in our decline

Been left as blackened filament

But I just don’t know

Oh

Oh I don’t know

No, I don’t know

No, I don’t know (what did you mean?)

No, I don’t know (what did you mean?)

No, I don’t know (what did you mean?)

No, I don’t know

I’ve got to get away from

I’ve got to get away from you

But I feel blood inside the vein

I feel life inside the ligament

I feel alive yeah just the same

Same vigor and the same intent

Oh but I just don’t know

If that’s what you meant
