Van Etten, Sharon - I Wish I Knew Lyrics






I wish I knew what to do with you,
But the truth is I ain't got a clue,
Do you? Do You?

I wish I had an idea of what I need,
But we, oh we, can't know and that's okay,
That's okay.

I wish you'd understand,
I wish that I could know,
The truth is I have no idea.

I wish we could just run around
And only worry about right now,
I hate to admit it but I don't know shit
And neither do you, do you, do you,

And that is good enough
For me, for you, for now,
As long as we can talk about it.

Van Etten, Sharon I Wish I Knew Comments
  1. t.... a....

    The folk queen ❤️

  2. A.... N....

    I like how she sang this in the OA and also is a singer in real life. Makes the OA's story all the more worth it. Feels cool. And makes me cry more while watching the show.

  3. R.... ....

    Absolutely transcendental.

  4. F.... ....

    I L O V E Y O U

  5. W.... S....

    the oa is the best

  6. J.... G....

    I love how much happier Sharon is now, but I hope she makes music this tender again

    J.... G....

    Josephine Gray A song like “I wish I knew” can only be born out of the full throttle love of youth and the pain that accompanies the aftermath. It breaks my heart and makes it full. I feel like that song can (and should) only happen once.

  7. J.... M....

    I love you Sharon, con esta canción vuelves a pegar mi corazón roto... De verdad me has dado más fuerza para salir adelante

  8. J.... J....

    Just saw your ACL show online. New fan. Great stuff !!!

  9. H.... B....

    Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

  10. n.... ....

    Play it at 0.75x on your second listen

  11. M.... G....

    Fuck your voice is imbedded into my heart. Thank you

  12. B.... T....

    I just found Sharon's music recently. The poignancy in "I wish I knew" is the most devastating and honest thing I've heard in a while.

    B.... T....

    u should get her album _Are We There_

    B.... T....

    Al Quinn Thank you for the recommendation. That’s actually my favorite album of hers.

  13. M.... D....

    Sing Rachel... Sing for your brother...

  14. C.... M....

    I really believe that you came back because of that Angelic voice

  15. J.... T....

    What’s awesome is that in the third season she’s gonna be in the dimension where she actually became a famous singer! :)

    J.... T....

    i'm kind of hoping that the show breaks the 4th wall at some point in some unforeseeable clever way

  16. v.... ....

    amazing amazing, but i wish there was a version where the camera doesn't zoom in like that.. wanted to see how she plays all those chord changes and that beautiful picking

  17. L.... M....

    Tellement beau, je suis fan!

  18. H.... T....

    Haunting!

  19. F.... F....

    Dude I like Sharon, but that guitar sounds awful

    F.... F....

    I actually thought it was great.

  20. P.... M....

    I live in a realm beyond time and knowledge, a gnome of ancient ages evolved from fungi; sweet portebello. so snip the sweet prick of a geek real quick.
    This is is ok music. pretty good for this dark era in time but pretty ok overall. PrEttY
