I Think I Knew

[Verse 1: Cate Le Bon]
There's 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 lifetime on earth -- whim

There's no working it out
My wanting is beyond all fears of formula
There's no boundary to devotion
No territory to handle and cut neatly into -- three

[Chorus: Cate Le Bon]
I wish I knew, I wish I knew
I wish I knew
I wish I knew, I wish I knew
I wish I knew

[Verse 2: Perfume Genius]
No sign on the door
No title to the deeds I'm 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 through the -- freeze

[Chorus: Cate Le Bon & Perfume Genius]
I wish I knew, I wish I knew
I wish I knew
I wish I knew, I wish I knew
I wish I knew

I think I knew, I think I knew
I think I knew
I think I knew, I think I knew
I think I knew

[Verse 3: Perfume Genius & Cate Le Bon]
What did you want?
(Everything)
How would you have him?
(On my knees)
There is no one that can't be opened
This one to cut the heart in two
The other one to -- choose

[Chorus: Cate Le Bon & Perfume Genius]
I wish I knew, I wish I knew
I wish I knew
I wish I knew, I wish I knew
I wish I knew

I think I knew, I think I knew
I think I knew
I think I knew, I think I knew
I think I knew

I think I knew, I think I knew
I think I knew
I think I knew, I think I knew
I think I knew
