I Wish I Knew
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wish I knew what to do with you
But the truth is I ain't got a clue
Do you? Do You?
I wish I had an idea of what I need
But we, oh we, can't know and that's okay
That's okay
I wish you'd understand
I wish that I could know
The truth is I have no idea
I wish we could just run around
And only worry about right now
I hate to admit it but I don't know shit
And neither do you, do you, do you
And that is good enough
For me, for you, for now
As long as we can talk about it
