Posthumous Forgiveness - Tame Impala

Ever since I was

A small boy

No one else compared

To you

No

Way

I

Always thought heroes stay close

Whenever troubled times arose

I didn't know

Ain't always how

It goes

Every single word

You told me

I believed without a question

Always

To save all of us

You told us both to trust

But now I know you only saved yourself

Did you think I'd never know?

Never wise-up as I grow

And you could store

An ocean in the pools

In any of the explanations

That you gave

And while

You still have time

You had a chance

But you decided to take all of your sorry's to the grave

Did you think I'd never know?

Never wise-up as I grow

Did you hope I'd never doubt?

Never wander, work it out?

You were running for cover

Doing like any other

Falling out with a lover

You didn't know that I'd suffer

What a thing to discover

There was time to recover

Move on with each other

Just a boy and a father

What I'd give for another

Everything that I have

Couldn't need this for long

Never speak of the time

That you left us alone

Me and Steve on our own

I wanna tell you 'bout the time

Wanna tell you 'bout my life

Wanna play you all my songs

Nonetheless, sing along

(This time)

Wanna tell you 'bout the time

(I know)

I was staring at a road

All the time that I had

Mick Jagger on the phone

I thought of you when we spoke

Wanna tell you 'bout the time

Wanna tell you 'bout my life

Wanna play you all my songs

Hear your voice, sing along

I wanna say it's alright

You're just a man after all

And I know your idea meant

I can sound off my own

Think you passed 'em along

Wanna tell you 'bout the time

Wanna tell you 'bout my life

Wanna play you all my songs

Hear your voice, sing along
