INTRODUCTION:
(00:00) Opening statement
(00:23) Introduction to "Don't Know Why"
VERSE ONE:
(01:25) I waited till I saw the sun
(02:25) I don't know why I didn't come
(03:34) I left you by the house of fun
VERSE TWO:
(04:37) When I saw the break of day
(05:06) I wished that I could fly away
(05:37) Instead of kneeling in the sand
(06:21) Catching teardrops in my hand
CHORUS:
(06:50) My heart is drenched in wine
(08:01) But you'll be on my mind forever
VERSE THREE:
(08:31) Out across the endless sea
(09:21) I would die in ecstasy
(09:53) But I'll be a bag of bones
(10:43) Driving down the road alone
VERSE FOUR:
(11:28) Somethin' has to make you run
(12:20) I feel as empty as a drum
FINAL THOUGHTS:
(12:56) "Don't Know Why" song meaning

Thank you for the explanation! Then, in this song, is "I would die in ecstasy" a completely never-happening story, and "Driving down the road alone" is expected to happen?

That's right, 'I would die in ecstacy' is hypothetical and didn't necessarily happen in real life. That's why the conditional 'I would die' is used. 'Would', 'could', 'might', etc. are all used to show potential happenings. 'Driving down the road alone' could be actually happening, but more likely it's connected to the future phrase in the previous line, 'but I'll be a bag of bones...', which means that's how she will feel when she is driving down the road alone (sometime in the future). Good questions! I hope my answers help rather than confuse you more!
