Wish I Knew You (feat. Indigo De Souza) - Animal Collective

I feel like I'm leaving myself behind And I'm so tired of crying I wanna get back up again It feels like I'm losing my best friend But we're gonna love again On the other side Don't bleed me dry We are capsized And I feel you dying But I'm safe inside You're bad You suck You fucked me up I'm sad I'm tired I want my time back You're bad You suck You fucked me up I'm fine Getting better Still want to Mmm, please God, forgive me I've been speaking death And when I come home When I come home I will begin again

Go past the photograph and take a right It's in the hallway under the exit Thank you for trying to be polite But, babe, I think we're already past that You can be mean to me I'm not gonna stop you You can be a dick to me It's what I'm used to I can't believe I let you touch my body I can't believe I let you get inside You know what you did You know what you took from me It makes me sick to think about that night I'd like to think you got a good heart And your dad was just an asshole growing up But I don't see you trying that hard to be better than he is When will it ever get any better? When's it gonna get any better? When will it ever get any better? When's it gonna get any better?

Pretty pictures on a screen When I'm with you it's like a dream I promise you I'll always grow with you And if my promise ever slips Just trust, I'll have the heart to quit I know when I'm better off a friend It's not what we wanted But it's just what we get Breakin' up and gettin' back together Breakin' up with someone you love 'Cause you know it's gonna be for the better But it's so hard to give it up I just can't lie to myself When I'm with you I'm somewhere else It doesn't feel like things will get better And you're the best one that I know I'm stupid if I let you go But you deserve to get what you've been giving It's not what I wanted But it's what's true to me Breakin' up and gettin' back together Breakin' up with someone you love 'Cause you know it's gonna be for the better But it's so hard to give it up Breakin' up and gettin' back together Breakin' up with someone you love 'Cause you know it's gonna be for the better But it's so hard to give it up But it's so hard to give it up

When pain is real, you cannot run You can cover, but come undone And love might go, but is not gone I still know you, I still know you When love is real, you cannot sit You can cover, but never quit And carry on, as you were I still feel you, I still feel you I don't believe the things I've done I don't believe the weight I've been Going Going Going Going Going Going Going Going Going I wanna kick wanna scream, I wanna know it's not my fault I wanna know it's not my fault, I didn't mean it I wanna kick wanna scream, I wanna know it's not my fault I wanna know it's not my fault, I didn't mean it

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 come in simplicity Longing for purity To worship You In spirit and truth Only You Lord, strip it all away 'Til only You remain I'm coming back To my first love Only You You're the reason I sing The reason I sing Yes, my heart will sing How I love You And forever I'll sing Forever I'll sing Yes, my heart will sing How I love You I come with my broken song To You the perfect One To worship You In spirit and truth Only You Only You And give me a childlike heart Lead me to where You are 'Cause I'm coming back To my first love Only You You're the reason I sing The reason I sing Yes, my heart will sing How I love You (oh my love) And forever I'll sing Forever I'll sing Yes, my heart will sing How I love You How I love You How I love You How I love You My first love How I love You How I love You How I love You My first love You're the reason I sing The reason I sing Yes, my heart will sing How I love You And forever I'll sing Forever I'll sing Yes, my heart will sing How I love You

I'm getting lost in your curls I'm drawing pictures on your skin, so soft it twirls I like your looks when you get mean I know I shouldn't say so but when you Claw me like a cat, I'm beaming I like the way you squeeze my hand Pulling me into another dream A lucid dream I'm getting lost in your curls I'm getting crushed out on the things That only I should see Not for boys, they're just for me Hurry to talk, from far away I can see you, you curl your fists and you pull your hair When we're alone, I wanna say Let's just stay in, no one's here in our apartment babe Put on the dress that I like It makes me so crazy, though I can't say why Keep on your stockings for a while Some kind of magic in the way you're lying there I'm getting lost in your curls I'm getting rushed back on a whim Our breaths get wind Back to the time when we were green I know we have changed But I still grin 'cause I can't wait to see you Back to the time I touched your hair When I was so scared to look that mean, I think it's weird I'm getting lost in your curls I'm getting crushed out on the things That only I should see They're not for boys, they're just for me We're in the dark, from far away It's so hard for me Only to get the urge to kiss you there When we're alone, I wanna say Let's just stay in, no one's here in our apartment babe Put on the dress that I like It makes me so crazy, though I can't say why Keep on your stockings for a while Some kind of magic in the way you're lying there Put on your dress that I like It makes me so crazy, though I can't say why Keep on your stockings for a while Some kind of magic in the way you talk about your Blue eyeshadow It's not exactly blue no If you're to call it Anything but your blue.
