Manchester Orchestra - I Know How to Speak

I know how to speak
And I know where I'm going
I wanted to seek
But I got distracted

It's a mirage
One that leaves me embarrassed
'Cause no one knows me like you
You know there's nothing left for ya
So I continually move
Try to pass it through for ya
Does that bore ya?

The past about pain
Is timeless and honest
So let go of your shame
It's a dead dampening blanket
It's a facade
Back and look at your training

There's nobody else like you
I think I finally explained it
So I continue to move
Between the bank and the blanket
Don't fake it

I, I'm really gonna try this time
Gonna give you my heart in spite of my soul
I, I'm really gonna try this time
Gonna give you my heart in spite of my soul

I want your name
Burnt in my ceiling
Floats like a flame
An unpredictable wonder

You gave it all hope
And all the of this is a circle
There's nobody else like you
So many that came before you

This is the moment I choose
Between the hope and the hardest, so be honest

I'm really gonna try this time
Gonna give you my heart in spite of my soul
I'm really gonna try this time
Gonna give you my heart in spite of my soul
