I Wish I Could

I wish I could hear you Clasp my lines like crumpled paper Throw the tea leaves I remember What you said about your closest friends It was starin' me in the face The whole time, words that start with V I made the mistake of thinkin' she wasn't smart I don't think you can enlarge without distorting it You wish people would stop asking you where it's from There are things I know I should do There are things I choose to do They're not the same, they're not even close Sure I guess you have bold but I'm talkin' pianissimo After you've given up being understood I don't think you can enlarge without distorting it You wish people would stop asking you where it's from I can't imagine wanting anything as much as they want us dead I wish I could hear you You like pressure, you asked me, I pressed Everything you told me about my past was wrong I don't think you can enlarge without distorting it You wish people would stop asking you I don't think you can enlarge without distorting it You wish people would stop asking you where you're from Gotta be careful, gotta be reckless Pinch those knobby fingers together Since when have you obeyed anyone? Please distract me so I won't know i'm waiting If God is good, and you're good Then where does that put us? I don't think you can enlarge without distorting it You wish people would stop asking you I don't think you can enlarge without distorting it You wish people would stop asking you where you're from It's not even close Well, we can't be lost 'Cause I know there's nowhere to be (You wish people would stop asking you) Well, we can't be lost 'Cause I know there's nowhere to be (You wish people would stop asking you) I find myself obedient To what I don't know To what's no longer here To what has gone away
