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 traveler 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
