We All Thought We Knew You - Birth Control

When I heard that you had gone I couldn’t move or talk, or think for grief

That you should have left us in such a way just wasn’t you

Gave up the ghost of life without a word and didn’t tell anyone

Did you never even have just one close friend you could talk to

We all thought we knew you but we were so wrong

We never did know you but we do know you now

That you have gone away, away

You played your rock’n’roll for so long in your own special way

And each and every song you wrote came straight from your heart

You always dreamed of living somewhere in the californian sun

Spent your short life daydreaming of a better reality

We all thought we knew you but we were so wrong

We never did know you but we do know you

Now that you have gone away, away

Now that we do know you, we just want to say goodbye to you

Or maybe au revoir until some day some future far away

We all hope, you’re content, at peace now

With your new point of view somewhere out in space

If you found what you were looking for, please, let us know

We all thought we knew you but we were so wrong

We never did know you but we do know you

Now that you have gone away

We all thought we knew you but we were so wrong

We never did know you but we do know you

Now that you have gone away

We all thought we knew you but we were so wrong

We never did know you but we do know you

Now that you have gone away

We all thought we knew you but we were so wrong

We never did know you but we do know you

Now that you have gone away

We all thought we knew you but we were so wrong

We never did know you but we do know you

Now that you have gone away
