I wish I knew you well enough

I wish I knew you well enough

But I’m quite convinced I’m alone at last

And my dream is a thing of the past



Sunny afternoons, a lone airplane in the sky

Rainy mornings listening to forty-fives

The mystery in music, people to idolize

Best friends down the street, innocent lies

Water in the creek, weekends always at the beach

The element of danger, things we could reach

Discovering new places, the girl you’d like to know

A happy family, vacations in the snow



I wish I knew you well enough

I wish I knew you well enough

But I’m quite convinced I’m alone at last

And my dream is a thing of the past



Lonely afternoons skating in the park

Restless Sunday evenings running home in the dark

Shady isles of trees, private lanes

We’re hiding in the fields, sacred plains

Racing up the street, playing hide and seek

Stories we would tell, secrets we could not keep

The fear of being lost, the unexplained

A friendly neighborhood, days after it had rained



I wish I knew you well enough .
