I want to head to New York City and see my name on a billboard
The roofs of clouds look pretty and flying makes me feel good
Feelings turn to poetry and poets make you feel it
And I’m feeling like I’m nobody, but nobody will hear this at all
I want to head to California and see my favourite post cards
And thinking of the torture that I’ve trumped I might just go that far
Paradise and mundane humour in this town of bliss
And thinking back on my name, I want you to be proud of this
All of you

Hey Mamihlapinatapai
It can break my bones to say how much I need it
Hey Mamihlapinatapai
Oh the two of us we break too much to see it

Maybe just a photograph is all I need to start it
(All I need to start it, maybe just a photograph is)
Saying that the two of us are two wholes of a half and
(Two wholes of a half and, saying that the two of us)
Like when Ferris wheels are going round but no one’s felt the danger
(No ones felt the danger)
I made a call to keep my wings on awkward ground and double down the wager
Did I throw it all away?

Hey Mamihlapinatapai
It can break my bones to say how much I need it
Hey Mamihlapinatapai
Oh the two of us we break too much to see it

I’ve heard rumours of it all
I’ve heard rumours of it all (I’ve heard rumours of it all)
Oh I think I’ve heard too much about it
(Oh I think I’ve heard too much about this sound)
And I’ve heard it’s beautiful
(Another world that I can’t see)
I’ve heard rumours of it all
(A little bright inside of me)
Oh I think I’ve heard too much about this sound
And I need it, oh I do

Hey Mamihlapinatapai
It can break my bones to say how much I need it
Hey Mamihlapinatapai
Oh the two of us we break too much to see it

I’ve heard rumours of it all (I’ve heard rumours of it all)
I’ve heard rumours of it all (I’ve heard rumours of it all)
Oh I think I’ve heard too much about this sound

And then I found you
I’ve searched the world, over mountains and through
It’s about God damn time that I come across you
I’ve battle the demons that silence the few
I never defeat them but I never knew
That nothing is perfect but timeless is you.
