I wish I knew you well enough
I wish I knew you well enough
But I’m quite convinced I’m alone at last
And my dream is a thing of the past

Sunny afternoons, a lone airplane in the sky
Rainy mornings listening to forty-fives
The mystery in music, people to idolize
Best friends down the street, innocent lies
Water in the creek, weekends always at the beach
The element of danger, things we could reach
Discovering new places, the girl you’d like to know
A happy family, vacations in the snow

I wish I knew you well enough
I wish I knew you well enough
But I’m quite convinced I’m alone at last
And my dream is a thing of the past

Lonely afternoons skating in the park
Restless Sunday evenings running home in the dark
Shady isles of trees, private lanes
We’re hiding in the fields, sacred plains
Racing up the street, playing hide and seek
Stories we would tell, secrets we could not keep
The fear of being lost, the unexplained
A friendly neighborhood, days after it had rained

I wish I knew you well enough
