Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I didn't want to know
I just didn't want to know
Best to keep things in the shallow end
'Cause I never quite learned how to swim
I just didn't want to know
[Verse 2]
Didn't want, didn't want
Didn't want, didn't want
[Verse 3]
Close my eyes just to look at you
Taken by the seamless vision
I close my eyes
Ignore the smoke
Ignore the smoke
Ignore the smoke
[Verse 4]
Call an optimist, she's turning blue
Such a lovely color for you
Call an optimist, she's turning blue
While I just sit and stare at you
[Verse 5]
Because I don't wanna know
I didn't want to know
I just didn't want to know
I just didn't want
[Verse 6]
Mistook their nods for an approval
Just ignore the smoke and smile
[Verse 7]
Call an optimist, she's turning blue
Such a lovely color for you
Call an optimist, she's turning blue
Such a perfect color for your eyes
[Verse 8]
Call an optimist, she's turning blue
Such a lovely color for you
Call an optimist, she's turning blue
While I just sit and stare at you
[Verse 9]
I don't want to know
