Nothing That Has Happened So Far Had Been Anything We Could Control

Tame Impala · Lonerism [2012]

Nothing has happened so far has been anything

We could control

I have just been waiting for the perfect

Time to tell you I don't know

Maybe I'm just reading into it a

Little deeper than I should

We would make it easy we would take

It slowly if only we could.



Voices: "hey,

What are you doing out here?

You're thinking about everything, aren't you?

I know it's crazy, but just don't think of it like that.

Nothing has to mean anything.

Come on, come back inside."



Elodie,

Look at me,

Unless you're trying to hurt me

Heavy blow,

Down I go

Now I just to want to let go



Is it right?

Is it wrong?

I don't know,

It's not the cause I'm fighting for

Anymore

But it sucks to keep on running



Eventually

There will be

A time for clearer thinking

For now I weep

Can't get no sleep

I try to hold a good feeling

I just get one,

Here it comes,

There it goes,

And we just might,

Lose the fight, yeah

But it's alright

It wasn't our decision



Nothing has happened so far has been anything

We could control

I have just been waiting for the perfect

Time to tell you I don't know

Every man is happy until

Happiness is suddenly a goal.

I'll just be here waiting till the

Doctor calls and then I'll let you know.
