Animal Collective - Wish I Knew You lyrics

I took some time to find the me
The me that I always needed
And you can't look at what you can't see
I'd like to share my secrets
I want to share my secrets

When I see you I see a dream
I gave you food out of my mouth
Don't run away, you're the best of all
Just what you do, be ready
Just what you do, be ready

I wish that I knew you well
So I could release, keep your spirit in light
My mama, if I could hold you
You would know it'll be alright
You would know it'll be alright

My home is on the outside
My love is in your kitchen

Do you remember the first time
You said you loved me, and I believed you?
What if we run out of time
And I don't want to say goodbye?
I don't want to say goodbye

Why do you call on me?
I'm not the woman you're looking for
The girl that raised you, she is gone
And I'm the best I cannot be
You chose strangers, you didn't choose me

I wish that I knew you well
(I could be your best friend)
So I could release, keep your spirit in light
(If you listen to me)
My mama, if I could hold you
(I could be your best friend)
You would know it'll be alright
(If you listen to me)
I wish that I knew you well
(I could be your best friend)
So I could release, keep your spirit in light
(If you listen to me)
My mama, if I could hold you
(I could be your best friend)
You would know it'll be alright
(If you listen to me)
You would know it'll be alright
(If you listen to me)
You would know it'll be alright
(If you listen to me)
You would know it'll be alright
(If you listen to me)
My home is on the outside
(If you like me or love me
I could be your best friend)
My love is in your kitchen
(If you like me or love me
I could be your best friend)
My home is on the outside
(If you like me or love me
I could be your best friend)
My love is in your kitchen
(If you like me or love me
I could be your best friend)
My home is on the outside
(If you like me or love me
I could be your best friend)
My love is in your kitchen
(If you like me or love me
I could be your best friend)
My home is on the outside
(If you like me or love me
I could be your best friend)
My love is in your kitchen
(If you like me or love me
I could be your best friend)
My home is on the outside
(If you like me or love me
I could be your best friend)
My love is in your kitchen
(If you like me or love me
I could be your best friend)
My home is on the outside
(If you like me or love me
I could be your best friend)
(My love is in your kitchen)
If you like me or love me
I could be your best friend
(My home is on the outside)
I could be your best friend
I could be your best friend
(My love is in your kitchen)
I could be your best friend
I could be your best friend
I could be your best friend
I could be your best friend
I could be your best friend
I could be your best friend
I could be your best friend
I could be your best friend
I could be your best friend
I could be your best friend
I could be your best friend
I could be your best friend
If you like me or love me
I could be your best friend
