Wish I Knew You - The Revivalists

I've got to see you Wherever you are And I've got to be there I'm wishing on stars I've got to reveal what's inside of my heart But the words escape me And I'm paralyzed So helpless when I Look into your eyes And how I wish you only knew What I feel inside for you You probably haven't got a clue But I wish you knew How I love you baby Honestly I know it's silly of me To want you so badly But keep it concealed See my inferiority complex kicks in And the words escape me And I'm paralyzed So helpless when I Look into your eyes And how I wish you only knew What I feel inside for you You probably haven't got a clue But I wish you knew How I love you baby

I wish I knew someone like you could love me I wish I knew you place no one above me Did I mistake this for a real romance? I wish I knew, but only you can answer If you don't care, why let me hope and pray so Don't lead me on, if I'm a fool just say so Should I keep dreaming on, or just forget you? What shall I do, I wish I knew If you don't care, why let me hope and pray so Don't lead me on, if I'm a fool just say so Should I keep dreaming on, or just forget you? What shall I do, I wish I knew, yes I do What shall I do, I wish I knew

You think you're pretty bright 'cause mama called you son that don't mean nothing You got your bloody knuckles from breaking bricks with all your muscle it don't mean nothing Wasting so much energy Searching for an enemy To ease the doubt and keep your hand Ou can't knock it down like a strawman Change my gear shift into drive Stay awake while I'm alive With good humor and a shoddy plan I can set afire to my strawman Hey you know things could always be easier Hey but though we all complain Even so watch out for meteors, meat-eaters, and other forms of wild game Sold a millions diamonds but never gave up one that don't mean nothing You got your bloody nose from breaking bricks with all the girls it don't mean nothing Hey little Scotty why you on the loose you got your head and your shoulders and a good excuse Excuse the dues freezing your plan you can knock it down like a strawman Hey you know things could always be easier Hey but though we all complain Even so watch out for meteors, meat-eaters, and other forms of wild game If only this if only that Change the one thing holding me back And I can make it like it's not I'll be so free sitting on top The world it flies it does not wait For you to accept your own fate Come to in all your foolish pride Hear in lies truth you may despise The skies don't care much who you are They'll strike you down with a meteor Wasting so much energy Searching for an enemy To ease the doubt and keep my hand I can't knock it down like a strawman

You broke my heart to save a one true chance To grow old year by year, Ever we're dancing The way the summer's like without al lthe rain Can rely on me honey. I'll always remain Your confident you know your my best friend Your The thoughts on my mind I can't comprehend. Like you don't even need to live so departed Forever you're the only one that in my heart (Ch) Lay on the ceiling stare up of at the floor Fall upstairs to answer quiet knocks on my back door There's water in the streets and roots on the sky Wind blows my way you know I'm up all night The earth is spinning less than by your side One day together babe we gone flip the world upright, Gonna flip the world upright (V2) Your speedin from me baby don't you drive slow I'll be here waitin in the place that you know Just hangin windows and no one knows my name And now that your gone I'm the only one to blame From heart to heart I wish your shortening breath These understood tears that them blue eyes wept Seeping through the cracks and caught in the ground And slowly but surely tip the world upside down. Don't deny it in your diary, I saw you wrote that you still loved me The ending of the words have all been erased, fifth line, third base. You wanna see me as I do you, I wish you felt the way you used to. And I can tell you its coming soon, it's coming soon.
