You Took Your Time (Live at BBC Maida Vale)
[Verse 1: Jonwayne]
I only speak with broken angels
Lying like chrysanthemums
Lying like chrysanthemums
That’s planted in your head
Seven thousand winters, the cold never bites
It’s gumless in Los Angeles
The gumption that you have to speak to me when you’re so lost
You couldn’t find the words to cry for help
Be thankful you still have your health
If you listen to yourself, you’d be able to spring the well
Don’t tell me how to live your life, find out for yourself
I don’t have the time, or patience to dwell
His heart has that new car smell
Once you take him for a spin you’ll be able to smell yourself
My optometry is sacred, my narrative is naked
I eat through my navel, I feel through the ceiling
I’m over your head, is an understatement
Our grasp isn’t physical, our mental constitutions
I’d only like to know where you were going
Please, don’t take me with you
Love isn’t the issue, there’s endless seas of people
Who barely know themselves and try to see themselves in people
Love isn’t the issue, there’s endless seas of people
Who barely know themselves and try to see themselves in people
So if I feel alone maybe I’m not as crazy as you think
Or maybe I was tossed with the kitchen sink
I never know, I’d rather never know
I’d rather live my life in ignorance than ever know
I never know, I’d rather never know
I’d rather live my life in ignorance than ever know
I never know, I’d rather never know
I’d rather live my life in ignorance than ever know
I never know, I’d rather never know
I’d rather live my life in ignorance than ever know
[Instrumental break: 4 measures]

I never know, I’d rather never know
I’d rather live my life in ignorance than ever know

[Instrumental break: 8 measures]

I never know, I’d rather never know
I’d rather live my life in ignorance than ever know

[Instrumental break: 12 measures]

I never know, I’d rather never know
I’d rather live my life in ignorance than ever know
I never know, I’d rather never know
I’d rather live my life in ignorance than ever know
