Cate Le Bon I Think I Knew lyrics

theres no talking to him
his eyes are upon dust steam and tepid water
i am home just to sit with him
aging at the notion of a life time on earth
whim

theres no working it out
my wanting is beyond all fears of formula
theres no boundry to devotion
no territory to handle and cut neatly into
three

i wish i knew x6

no sign on the door
no title to the deeds im digging for
a pun you wade into that ocean
blot out all uncertainty
and call it as i
be

the air is all ribbons of ice
softening the corners of my eyes

i was bold
i was the author
doubt crept in like sickly dogs
and dragged me thru the
freeze

i wish i knew x6
i think i knew x6

what did you want
-everything
how would you have heard
-on my knees
there is noone that can be opened
this one to cut the heart in two
the other one to
choose

i wish i knew x6
i think i knew x12
