Desire Be, Desire Go
Tame Impala · Innerspeaker [2010]
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
