I Know How To Speak - Manchester Orchestra

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

Because no one knows me like you

You know there’s nothing left for you

So I continually move

Try to pass it through for ya

Does that bore ya?

Asked about pain

It’s timeless and honest

So let go of your shame

It’s dead dampening blanket

It’s a facade

Go back and look at your training

There’s nobody else like you

I think I finally explained it

I continue to move

Between the bank and the blanket

Don’t fake it

I really am gonna try this time

Gonna give you my heart in spite of my soul

I really am 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

That all of this is a circle

There’s nobody else like you

So many that came before ya

This is the moment I choose

Between the hope and the harness

So be honest

I’m really gonna try this time

Gonna give you my heart

In spite of my soul
