lyrics

I wish I knew what you were thinking
Everytime that you were drinking
Everytime that you were sinking
Into silence

I wish I knew what you were saying
About the debt that you’ve been paying
About the game that we’re all playing
How we’re all hiding

I wish I knew you as child
When you were free and you were wild
Before you lost that easy smile
I wish I knew I wish I knew

I wish I knew what you were feeling
When you were staring at the ceiling
But you never would reveal
You’d just turned out the lights

I wish I knew what you were holding
Some heavy burden, Heavy scolding
A fire that keeps on smoldering
But it never ignites

I wish I knew you as child
When you were free and you were wild
Before you lost that easy smile
I wish I knew
I wish I knew how to open up a box
Without tearing off the top
Without breaking all the locks
I wish I knew

I wish I knew how to let go
Of that aching desire to know
And the need to throw a rope
Each time you’re sinking

I wish I knew how to give it space
Look myself in the face
Leave with a little grace
Before I break

I wish you knew me as a child
When I was free and I was wild
I had such an easy smile
I wish you knew
And I wish we knew how to open up this box
Just go tearing off the top
Breaking all the locks
I wish we knew
I wish we knew
