Analysis of I don't know



I don't have all the answers
To all the questions
I can't say yes to everything
Because some answers are no
I can't go everywhere
I have to be here
I can't say I do
When I don't
I can't say yes
When I mean no
I won't say stay
When you should go
I can't jump high
I need to be low
I won't move fast
I will take it slow
