Tame Impala - Posthumous Forgiveness (Lyrics)

Tame Impala - Posthumous Forgiveness
Ever since I was a small boy
No one else compared to you, no way
I always thought heroes stayed 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 holes in any of the explanations that you gave
And while you still had time, you had a chance
But you decided to take all your sorrys to the grave
Did you think I'd never know?
Never wise up as I grow?
Did you hope I'd never doubt?
Never one day work it out?
You were runnin' for cover
Doin' like any other
Fallin' out with a lover
You didn't know that I suffered
What a thing to discover
If there was time to recover
One-on-one with each other
Just a boy and a father
What I'd give for another
Everything that I have
Wouldn'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
Learn the words, sing along
Wanna tell you 'bout the time
I was in Abbey Road
Or 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 all right"
You're just a man after all
And I know you had demons
I got some of my own
I think you passed them along
Wanna tell you 'bout the time
Wanna tell you 'bout my life
Wanna play you all my songs
And hear your voice sing along
