Peter Bjorn And John — (I Just Wanna) See Through lyrics

Lyrics

Well now I see they’re screaming harder — and they’re throwing things
but I don’t need to follow — I don’t want to follow
I’m trying to get hollow — trying to get hollow
is there something I can borrow — just until tomorrow
Well now I see they’re getting lamer to the point of lying down
the beat is getting softer — the heat is getting colder
the light is getting dim — the substance getting thinner
but I’m still trying to grasp it — they give me meals to choke on And now you hold his hand
and now he understands
but I don’t have to face it — I don’t have to chase shit
'cause I just wanna see through — I want to embrace you
Get back where you belong at university
or try to do it our way — try to make it this way
but I don’t need to listen — I’ll be home for Christmas
I’ll see you when it’s raining — society is draining
You’ll be up and you’ll be down in a matter of minutes
I’ve tried run the distance
tried and get the high fence
but I’ve never been a sportsman
got picked last when they picked teams
I’m the worst kind of amateur
the kind which never wins the war
though I had the best of teachers
they called me the seeker
And now you…
and now you hold his hand
and now he understands
but I don’t have to face it — I don’t have to chase shit
'Cause I just wanna see through — I want to embrace you
I just wanna see through — I want to embrace you
oh oh oh! — I just wanna see through — I want to embrace you
you…
