Desire Be, Desire Go

Tame Impala · Innerspeaker [2010]

Feel it come

I don't know how long it's gonna stay with me

I'll let desire be

Desire go

Dare I face the real world

Everyday

Back and forth

What's it for?

What's it for?

Back and forth



Everyday

Everyday

Back and forth

What's it for

I don't know

I'll get out, won't have to...

Check my watch

I don't have the verve to belong to this dead side

Why I ever tried

I don't know
