I Think I Knew - Cate Le Bon, Perfume Genius

There’s no talking to him

His eyes are born from the stead and rapid water

I WANT JUST TO SIT WITH HIM

Aging off the notion of a lifetime on earth

There’s no working it out

My wanting is beyond our fields of formula

THERE’S NO BOUNDERY TO DEVOTION

No territory to handle and cut neatly in two

I wish I knew, I wish I knew

I wish I knew, I wish I knew

I wish I knew, I wish I knew

No sign on the door

No title to the deeds I’m digging for

UPON WE WAIT INTO AN OCEAN

Blind out all the certainty and call it as I did

Here is reason to vice

Softening the corners of my eyes

I WAS BOLD, I WAS THE AUTHOR

Doubt crept in my sickle thoughts

And dragged me through the freeze

I wish I knew, I wish I knew

I wish I knew, I wish I knew

I wish I knew, I wish I knew

I think I knew, I think I knew

I think I knew, I think I knew

I think I knew, I think I knew

What did you want?

EVERYTHING

How would you have heard me?

ON MY KNEES

There is no one that can be opened

This one to cut the harm to the other one to choose

I wish I knew, I wish I knew

I wish I knew, I wish I knew
