I took a ride that took me out of nowhere
Life is an open door
I took a chance on you when it was unclear

What we were hoping for
This world can be oh so cruel
But I've paid my dues

God only knows
What you do to me
Where we will be tomorrow

If you should stay
Please promise me nothin'
'Cause god only knows

I am just a traveller on a journey
No destination sign
Even when you're on the road to nowhere

Take one step at a time
'Cause life can be oh so cruel
That's yesterday's news

I can say it
God only knows
What you do to me

Where we will be tomorrow
If you should stay
Please promise me nothin'

Yeah
God only cares
When you're through

To the bone, can you feel the sorrow
If you should go
Please promise me nothin'

'Cause I'm alive and I'm here
And I don't want to fear
There are mountains to climb

And this is my time
I can say it,
God only knows

What you do to me
Where we will be tomorrow
If you should go

Please ask me for nothing
Yeah
God only deals

To the ones that he knows
Have the strength to handle
'Cause god always throws

A line to the wanderer
Who god only knows
Yes god only knows

Woah
God only knows
