I Know You

Walking with you through the courtyard
 Where everything's marble and smooth
 You said the idea of perfection
 Was just fundamentally cruel
 And talked about joining the circus
 And trading your face for a mask
 Oh, I know you, want to
 I just don't believe that you can
 We made quite a pair in the morning
 We both tend to traffic in dreams
 Seeing it now from the outside
 You kept all your dark ones from me
 And said that you plan to go rambling
 As you sat on that big window sill
 Oh, I know you, want to
 I just don't believe that you will
 You long to go hide in the bramble
 Or fall off the face of the earth
 You wish you could live with the beggars
 On the steps of some crumbling church
 You say that you'd like to go hungry
 But the truth is you just had your fill
 Oh, I know you, want to
 I just don't believe that you will
 On Sundays you stroll through the market
 And feel like you've traveled through time
 Buying back all your possessions
 They were stolen from some former life
 Return to me, tied in a corset
 To say, "Don't you know who I am?"
 Oh, I know you, want to
 I just don't believe that you can
 Yes, I know you, want to
 I just don't believe that you can
 ♪
 And trying to make an invention
 Something the worlds never seen
 To sweep away all of the trouble
 And leave the place shiny and clean
 Patent your brave new creation
 And hold it right there in your hand
 Oh, I know you, want to
 I just don't believe that you can
 I waited for you at the landing
 The water was crystal and calm
 All these ideas of forever
 Are just fundamentally wrong
 You say that your love makes you honest
 Then you're caught with your hand in the till
 Oh, I know you, want to
 I just don't believe that you will
 Yes, I know you, want to
 I just don't believe that you will
