lyrics

There's something about her
That’s hard to see up close
But when she’s gone I know
When she’s gone I know

When she’s not around
I feel just like a ghost
Like I’m see through
Or I don’t exist at all

And I want to be seen
But I don’t want you to know

The lies that surround me
Although they are my own
Usually fail in their purpose
I always question what I’m told

And I remember new years
And being tired but full of hope
Well that was one of those lies
But how could I have known

So I wait, and wait
For the lights to come on

’Cause I wan’t you to find me
But I don’t wanna show

Segall Smeagol
by Ty Segall

I've been listening to the original album (Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson) since forever and I've been listening to a lot of Ty Segall for the last couple of years. Best of both worlds! Eelke
