Lirik Who Knows

youtube.com/DanielCaesar

I'll probably be a waste of your time, but who knows?
Chances are I'll step out of line, but who knows?
Lately, you've set up in my mind
Yeah, girl, you, and I like that

Lately, I've been thinking that perhaps I am a coward
Hiding in a disguise of an ever-giving flower
Incompetent steward of all of that sweet, sweet power

Yesterday was feeling so good, now it's gone
I'd feel like that always if I could, is that wrong?
Tell me 'bout the city you're from
Is it hot? Does it snow there?

Lately, I've been thinking 'bout my precarious future
Will you be there with me by my side, my girl, my shooter?
Who's to say who calculates? Not me, I'm no computer

Is it a crime to be unsure?
In time, we'll find if it's sustainable
You're pure, you're kind, mature, divine
You might be too good for me, unattainable

Maybe we get married one day, but who knows?
Think I'll take that thought to the grave, but who knows?
I know that I'll love you always
Yeah, girl, you, and I like that

Makna Lagu 'Who Knows'

Lagu ini menggambarkan seseorang yang sedang jatuh cinta, tetapi dihantui rasa tidak percaya diri dan ketakutan bahwa dirinya mungkin tidak cukup baik untuk orang yang ia sukai. Ia merasa penuh kekurangan, tidak stabil, dan takut mengecewakan, namun tetap memendam harapan bahwa hubungan itu bisa berkembang. Ada dorongan kuat untuk dekat, namun juga keraguan apakah ia layak mendapatkan sosok yang ia anggap begitu baik, dewasa, dan hampir “terlalu sempurna”.

Di balik keraguan itu, ada rasa tulus dan keinginan untuk masa depan bersama, meski ia sendiri tidak yakin apakah hal itu akan benar-benar terjadi. Lagu ini menangkap keindahan cinta yang masih samar: manis, canggung, penuh harapan, namun dibalut ketidakpastian tentang diri sendiri dan arah hubungan.
