Story Behind The Song
this is a different version from the original idea, which is on acoustic guitar, and I got Courtney to learn and sing it all in one session, which mean't she didn't know it too well, and is a little hesitant on it, but it gives it the right vibe IMHO... :>

Lyrics
wish I knew
©2010 feb 15 m.mccallum all rights reserved
I wish I knew what was
in your head & the
thoughts you're thinkin' and
never said so
scare your demons &
kiss your angels
I wish I knew
Oh-oh I wish I knew
so here I go out
on this journey
through black shadows of
those who'll bleed me
who'll steal from truth
& who'll cheat for glory
and who say "why lose?'"
and who say "why don't you? "
sail this boat on
the dark blue water
nothin' said for a
holy hour
catch the spell ... of
the full moon's whisper
the things we do
oh, the things we do
I wish I knew what was
in your head & the
thoughts you're thinkin' and
never said so
scare your demons &
kiss your angels
I wish I knew oh-oh , I wish I knew hm mmm
I wish I knew oh- oh, I wish I knew hm mmm .... Hmmmm
