Lyrics

I Wish I Knew

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
Do you
And that is good enough
For me, for you, for now
As long as we
Can talk about it
