john wesley harding - i see you lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
well, i see you
standing in front of a firing squad
when they ask what your final request is
well, you say, “is there a god?”
and i see you
holding your own hand on lover’s lane
whispering sweet nothings in your own ear
self+serenading “you’re so vain”

[chorus]
say i’m not free
but that’s not true
you don’t see me
but i see you
well, i see you
well, i see you
you’re see+through
[verse 2]
well, i see you
stretched to the end marks of sanity
saying, “what else can you give me?
you know that i can take it all”
and i see you
martyr yourself over trivia
’cause you thought you’d look good walking on water
when you can’t even do the crawl

[chorus]
say you’re so free
but that’s not true
you don’t see me
but i see you
well, i see you
well, i see you

[verse 3]
well, i see you
lecturing a world full of volunteers
on the intricate workings of the jigsaw
if they’ve got ears then they won’t hear
and i see you
lying about yourself and believing it
living a life out of selfishness
missing out all the good bits
[chorus]
say you know me
well, of course, you do
you don’t see me
but i see you
well, i see you
well, i see you

[bridge]
i see you—without doubt it’s getting worse
i see you—driving backwards in a he+rs+
i see you—no reflection in the mirror
i see you—saying stuff that i can’t hear

[verse 4]
i see you
drowning in a sea of complacency
even your death throes impress you
to end your life that perfectly
and i see you
extolling the eternal flame of doubt
when if someone lit a candle
you’d try to blow it out
