I Would Lyrics

I was quite the non-believer
So I knew you were never meant
To be all mine and no one else's

And you'd already sussed it out until you knew you weren't
Ever in control
I just never thought that I could be so helpless
But you know I would
Honey, you know I would
For you, you know I would

Young philosophers and poets they would drown the day and warm the night
They wont say goodbye
Like you know I would
Ya, you know I would
They won't let you be in ways you know I would

All the others went and bought the car
And built their houses
But I think we make for better dancers

And they pay no mind to their interjections
And careless questions
Still you always give such thoughtful answers
Like you know I would
Ya, you know I would
They don't usually see the things you know I would

And you know I would
Well, you know I would
I'll take a bit, the rest, just like you know I would

Sticks and stones will break my bones
But your words will destroy me
But I'll just have to just reveal myself
Like you know I would
Ya, you know I would
Like you know I would
Ya, you know I would

They won't do the things for you that I would
