Innerspeaker (Collectors Edition)

Tame Impala Innerspeaker (Collectors Edition) Lyrics
1.It Is Not Meant To Be

I wanted her
I wanted her
But she doesn't like the
life that I lead Doesn't
like the life that I lead. Doesn't
like sand stuck on her feet. or
sitting around smoking weed,
I must seem more like a friend
in need.

And I boast that it is meant
to be, but in all honesty,
I don't have a hope in heel,
I'm happy just to watch her
move. And in all honesty, I
don't have a hope in hell, I'm
happy just to watch her move.

And she doesn't like the
friends that I make, doesn't
make friends for friendship's
sake. she just gets bored sitting
by the lake, her soul won't
surface and her
heart won't ache.

And I boast that it is meant to
be, but in all honesty, I don't
have a hope in hell, I'm happy
just to watch her move.

And I thought they could
cure his disease, but in all
honesty, he didn't have a
hope in hell, now we'll
never see him move.


2.Desire Be Desire Go

Desire Be Desire Go

Feel it come
I don't know how long it's gonna stay with me
I'll let desire be
Desire go

Dare I face the real world

Everyday
Back and forth
What's it for?
What's it for?
Back and forth
Everyday

Everyday
Back and forth
What's it for
I don't know
I'll get out, won't have to...

Check my watch

I don't have the verve to belong to this dead side
Why I ever tried
I don't know


3.Alter Ego

Said the voice from afar,
Don't you know it doesn't
have to be so hard? Waiting for
everyone else around to argee,
might take too long

When it won't be so hard,
(it won't be so hard)

Well it's true,yes, but you
wont't get far telling me
that you are all you're meant
to be, when the one from my
dream is sitting right next
to me and I don't know
what to do

Oh alter ego.

Get them to love you,
while the may depending
on your words and wealth,
the only one who's really
judging you is yourself.
Nobodyy else.

If I could part,
it wouldn't be so hard.

Well it's true yes, but you
won't get far telling me that
you are all you're meant to
be when the one from my
dream is sitting right next
to me and I don't know
what to do.

Oh alter ego.


4.Lucidity

I know where you went but
I don't know how you got
there, I know where you
went but I don't know how
you got there, Silver tongue
hill where you talk up what
I' d play down, I would
speak up but I wouldn't
know what to say.

Lucidity,come back to me,
put all five senses back to
where they're meant to be
Oh it's hard
to tell, it breaks down, there
is a will, there is a way

Wondering around like spare
time never knew it, I might
suck fizzle or I might just
float away

And we'll go running off
tonight, high above, where we
won't even need to recah the
sky, my love.
Oh there will be a change
in the air, nobody will be
anybody else.

Lucidity, come back to me,
put all five sense back to
whwere they're meant to be.
Oh where we'll go, tip toe,
tread boldly right down
to the lair


5.Why Won't You Make Up Your Mind?

Why won't you make up
your mind?
Give me a sign!
Why won't you make up
your mind?
Give me a sign!
Am I wasting my time?
Living in my head?
You'll be sorry when I make
up mine instead.


6.Solitude Is Bliss

Cracks in the pavement underneath my shoe
I can listen less about and less about you
No one else around to look at me
So I can look at my shadow as much as I please

All the kicks that I can't compare to
Making friends like they're all supposed to

You will never come close to how I feel (x2)

Space around me where my soul can breathe
I've got body that my mind can leave
Nothing else matters, I don't care what I miss
Company's okay
Solitude is bliss

There's a party in my head and no one is invited

And you will never come close to how I feel (x2)

Movement doesn't flow
Quite like it does when I'm alone
I'll be the one who's free
You and I are friends
Can watch me, today

Don't ask me how you're supposed to feel

You will never come close to how I feel (x4 fade out)


7.Island Walking

I could never see your eyes
And I can't see past the lies
Which is why I still run for us
In the meantime, here comes the chorus

I know you like your own kind
And that pulls me out of line
Which is why I get drunk to make up for a long time
Well I'm drunk and I feel fine, yeah I feel fine


8.Jeremy's Storm

(Instrumental)


9.Expectation

Said the voice from afar:
Everything you ever told me
could have been a lie, we
may never have been in love.
Stuck on thinking that there is
always something to lose,
or a hit from above.

I don't need what I'm holding
onto to. I wish I knew.

But meanwhile

Fluctuations are aching my
soul, Expectation is taking its
toll. Fluctuations are aching
my soul'cause everything you
ever told me could have been
a lie we may never have
been in love.

And then I will escape, I'll
never ever have to see another
disappointed face, no one to
please. Every now and then,
it feels like, in all of the uni-
verse, there is nobody for me.

I told myself I wouldn't care,
no I wouldn't care.
But when she said she'd come
round I combed my hair,
yes I checked my hair.

Fluctuations are aching
my soul,Expectation is
taking its toll.


10.The Bold Arrow Of Time

Overhead ether flow, moment
colours run. Time, so slow.

I've never seen the arrow of
time flu,so, low.

And time flows on.


11.Runway, Houses, City, Clouds

But don't remind me of home,
there's everywhere I'd rather
go. It's true that some things
have to change.

And don't remind me of home,
or I might notice where I am.
It's true that some things
have to change.

I know some things have
to change.

And gazing out the window,
as I ascend into the sky,
but I'm the one who's
left behind.

There is nothing that is safe.
I know some things have
to change.

Yeah, I do.

But don't remind me of home,
incase it isn't quite the same.


12.I Don't Really Mind

Shifting, shifting, shifting
aloud like it makes so
much difference to me.
Huffing, puffing, marching
around like I know how
much better it should be.

I know it looks like I disagree
nine tenths of the time...

But I don't really mind
But I don't really mind
But I don't really mind
But I don't really mind

Childhood puppy is old and
gruff, your mother wants to
give him away.
Piller of strength was lifted
off his deathbed,
3 weeks ago today.

But I don't really mind
But I don't really mind
But I don't really mind
But I don't really mind
