lirik lagu missy higgins - how was i to know
when the order came to dig the well
to crack the earth to pull the oil
to take the blood out from my mother’s veins
well i broke the ground to feed the mouth
i did not here the warning sound
i could not put back in what i took out
how was i to know
how was i to know
i’d be a stepping stone
to the end
the end of everything
how was i to know
on the day i built a house so high
it’s antenna did scr-pe the sky
well everyone applauded in my shadow
so my neighbour built a higher one
then again his neighbour after him
till racing through the clouds was all that mattered
up and up the buildings went
gl-ss and stone and hard cement
till all the green was left to die below
how was i to know
how was i to know
i’d be a stepping stone
to the end
the end of everything
the end of everything
how was i to know
long ago i caught a pretty fish
blue and silver and delicious
and i knew she’d line my pockets green
so i bought a bigger boat that had
a net to scr-pe the ocean and
i fished until one day that net was empty
how was i to know
how was i to know
i’d be a stepping stone
to the end
the end of everything
how was i to know
and how are we to now
turn these stepping stones around
back to everything that matters
can that place even be found or is it lost
forever
the end of everything
the end of everything
how was i to know?
how was i to know?
