The Less I Know the Better - Tame Impala

A beating heart gets thrown out of a car in the dark I find it and I check it for scars and make sure it's clean Then I go back inside 'cause there's nothing for us here in the night Just a helicopter buzzing nearby, ruining my sleep But I can feel a strong vibration when I look at you, you Everybody knows my failures, well I know theirs too, too Is this what it takes; what it takes to be impossibly great? 'Cause if it is then I think maybe the less, the less The less I knew the better Please just be kind when I drag myself out on through the line 'Cause in the end I think that maybe the less, the less The less I knew the better Now that heart and me At first we get on so splendidly And we called you but you never seemed free So we just drove around for a while But then the poetry of silence It has this way of catching me and that heart And it rises to tell us that all of this is grief And everything we love is a shame So I open up my window and I throw that heart through, through Now everybody knows my failures, well I know theirs too, too So is this what it takes; what it takes to be supposedly great? 'Cause if it is then I think maybe the less, the less The less I knew the better Please just be kind when I drag myself out onto the night 'Cause in the end I think that maybe the less, the less The less I knew the better The less I knew the better Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Oh mother, I can feel The soil falling over my head And as I climb into an empty bed Oh well, enough said I know it's over, still I cling I don't know where else I can go Oh... Oh mother, I can feel The soil falling over my head See, the sea wants to take me The knife wants to slit me Do you think you can help me? Sad veiled bride, please be happy Handsome groom, give her room Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly Though she needs you more than she loves you And I know it's over, still I cling I don't know where else I can go Over and over and over and over Over and over I know it's over and it never really began But in my heart it was so real And you even spoke to me and said "If you're so funny Then why are you on your own tonight? And if you're so clever Then why are you on your own tonight? If you're so very entertaining Then why are you on your own tonight? If you're so very good looking Why do you sleep alone tonight?" I know 'cause tonight is just like any other night That's why you're on your own tonight With your triumphs and your charms While they're in each other's arms It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate It takes strength to be gentle and kind Over, over, over, over It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate It takes guts to be gentle and kind Over, over Love is natural and real But not for you, my love Not tonight, my love Love is natural and real But not for such as you and I My love Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

My love, you say these walls are inside me. But who needs a side in this? Let's say they're in both. You came, you bent and folded my destiny You've taken my breath from me. You've stolen my breath. And you know this part of me. Just you know this part. Summer came. I told you to stick to this side of me. Now the winter's here I'm not gonna tell you again. I should wake you up And tell you that you're just dreaming love. And I can't deny This winter's opened my eyes. But I cannot tell. I cannot tell you now. But I cannot tell. I cannot tell you now. The road I know becoming a travesty. Predicting the scheme of things - Depicting our death. But you, you have to get to the core of me. You dig to the bones of me. You dig through my skin. And you know this part of me. Just you know this part. Summer came. I told you to stick to this side of me. Now the winter's here I'm not gonna tell you again. I should wake you up And tell you that you're just dreaming love. And I can't deny This winter's opened my eyes. But I cannot tell. I cannot tell you now. But I cannot tell. I cannot tell you now.
