Wish I Knew Songtext
von Follies & Vices

Driving with your eyes closed
What did you expect?
You′ve been doing damage all along the road
You're surprised at your wreck
You could have taken off the blindfold, but instead
You chose to blame a god that you don′t believe
Screaming "I don't know!" at the top of your head

Now you're looking at pictures
Thinking about what we could have been
We′ll never know

I wish that I knew to do this and that
That I was making mistakes before it′s already past
I wish that I knew everything in advance
I only know that I'll die, still thinking I can′t
Wish that I knew, I wish that I knew
I wish that I knew, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish that I knew
Wish that I knew, I wish that I knew
I wish that I knew, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish that I knew


Should have known the letdowns of falling in love (falling in love)
The deeper you get, the higher you are
And it's never enough
You′ve always been scared of heights
But fell in love with the rush
Still you blame a god that you don't believe
Screaming "I don′t know!" at the top of your head

Now you're looking at pictures
Thinking about what we could have been
We'll never know

I wish that I knew to do this and that
That I was making mistakes before it′s already past
I wish that I knew everything in advance
I only know that I′ll die, still thinking I can't
Wish that I knew, I wish that I knew
I wish that I knew, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish that I knew
Wish that I knew, I wish that I knew
I wish that I knew, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish that I knew

(Mmm, hmm, mhmm)
(Mmm, hmm, mhmm)
Let′s hear something true
I've heard every excuse coming from you
Let′s hear something true
I've heard every excuse, every excuse


I wish that I knew to do this and that
That I was making mistakes before it′s already past
I wish that I knew everything in advance
I only know that I'll die, still thinking I can't
Wish that I knew, I wish that I knew
I wish that I knew, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish that I knew
Wish that I knew, I wish that I knew
I wish that I knew, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish that I knew

Let′s hear something true (let′s hear something true)
I've heard every excuse, every excuse
