Posthumous Forgiveness - Tame Impala

Lyrics by：Kevin Parker

Composed by：Kevin Parker

Ever since I was a small boy

No one else compared to you no way

I always thought heroes stay 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 of 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 wonder work it out

You were runnin' for cover

Doin' like any other

Fallin' out with a lover

You didn't know that I'd suffer

What a thing to discover

There was time to recover

Move on with each other

Just a boy and a father

What I'd give for another

Everything that I have

Couldn'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

Nonetheless sing along

This time

Wanna tell you 'bout the time

I know

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 alright

You're just a man after all

And I know you have demons

I got some of my own

Think you passed 'em 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
