  • Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
    Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
    Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
    Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
    Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

    Can I believe you?
    Can I believe you?
    Can I
    Ever know your mind?
    Am I handing you mine?
    Do we both confide?

    I see it eat through every word I sow
    See what you need to, do you doubt it's yours
    Now I'm learning the ropes
    Never get this close
    I've been wounded before
    Hasn't let me go

    It never got less strange, showing anyone just a bare face
    If I don't, well, nothing will change
    Staying under my weather all day

    Can I believe you when you say I'm good?
    I shouldn't need to when I wished you would
    No, it isn't enough
    Never held that much
    Now another way up
    Been a row too rough

    It never got less strange, showing anyone just a bare face
    if I don't, well, nothing will change
    Staying under my weather all day

    Lately, I'm wondering too
    What type of desire I can break
    When I'm one way with them, one with you
    What half is it of me rearranged?
    Ooh ooh ooh ooh

    Can I believe you?
    Can I believe you?
    I want to need you
    I want to need you
    Can I believe you?
    Can I believe you? Writer/s: Robin Pecknold
