The Knocks - I Wish (My Taylor Swift) Lyrics

"I Wish (My Taylor Swift)"

(feat. Matthew Koma)

Most girls don't tick all of the boxes
More baggage than my LA ex and don't know who The Knocks is
Most girls are made-in-China plastics
Over-the-counter counterfeits, emotional gymnastics

It's summertime in Los Angeles
Breathing easy on the sand 'til the sunburn hits
In the studio with Dan, dedicating my lips
To the girl I'm gonna man
Hell, we're gonna be famous
Come up and roll me up the sun
Cause I'm on one

I wish I could find my Taylor Swift
Be bad as hell, take no one's shit
She'd be a boss and so legit
I, I, I, I
I wish I could find my sweet escape
We could drink pink lemonade
And stay in bed and dream away
I, I, I, I
I wish

Most girls are beautiful in pictures
They're smoke-and-mirror Juliets, they're Penn and Teller sisters
Yeah, most girls are post-traumatic stresses
Like fight-or-flighters, up all night untangling their messes

Like summertime in Los Angeles
Breathing easy on the sand til the sunburn hits
In the studio with Dan, dedicating my lips
To the girl I'm gonna man
Hell, we're gonna be famous
Come up and roll me up the sun
Cause I'm on one

I wish I could find my Taylor Swift
Be bad as hell, take no one's shit
She'd be a boss and so legit
I, I, I, I
Yeah, I wish I could find my sweet escape
We could drink pink lemonade
And stay in bed and dream away
I, I, I, I
I wish

And all the valley girls will come
With me and Ringo on the drums
Yeah, I'm on one

I wish I could find my Taylor Swift
Be bad as hell, take no one's shit
She'd be a boss and so legit
I, I, I, I
Yeah, I wish I could find my sweet escape
We could drink pink lemonade
And stay in bed and dream away
I, I, I, I
I wish

The Knocks - Comfortable Lyrics

"Comfortable"

(feat. X Ambassadors)

[Intro:]
All I see is you and me, dancing in each others company
Honestly I won't believe
Dancing in each others, dancing in each others company
Oh

[Verse 1:]
Get your head right
Baby get bak to the city
You're such a lover
You belong in their world
Its only temporary
But it feels like forever
Let your hair, swing, down
To the back of your knees
You're in the heart shaped, motor cage
Gridlock of traffic through the tunnel
Steady texting your exes
Making perfectly sure their alone
And now your cars parked, back seat
Scheming on how to make an entrance
You're so self assured
When you're working a room

[Chorus:]
All I see is you and me
Dancing in each others company
You're so comfortable with me
Honestly I won't believe
Dancing in each other company
You're so comfortable with me

[Verse 2:]
Now shake your head
Make your back take up all the attention
I got my hair cut short, cut straight to the issue
Its coming up, its coming up
All my shameful attentions on the roll
Taking over me
Give me, give me
Give me strength to continue
Can I get a little, space? Space
If only you knew, what I know
What I know, What I know now
Oh oh oh, yeah

[Chorus]

The Knocks - Dancing With Myself Lyrics

"Dancing With Myself"

People come and go, yeah
Feels like you are so uptight
And it feels like I keep falling
You are the one, I can't lie myself
I know the city
Light some fire
Turn me on my head
Street lights are singing
Turn it up tonight
I'm dancing with myself

Dancing with myself, yeah
Dancing with myself, yeah

You've been talking nothing
Frozen words come make no soundtrack
I've been drinking, calling
Solo fading in and out
I know the city
Light some fire
Turn me on my head
Street lights are singing
Turn it up tonight
I'm dancing with myself

Dancing with myself, yeah
Dancing with myself, yeah

I know the city
Light some fire
Turn me on my head
Street lights are singing
Turn it up tonight
I'm dancing with myself

Turn it up tonight, I'm dancing
Turn it up tonight, I'm dancing
Turn it up tonight, I'm dancing
Turn it up tonight, I'm dancing
Turn it up tonight, I'm dancing with myself
Dancing with myself, yeah
Dancing with myself, yeah

The Knocks - Kiss The Sky Lyrics

"Kiss The Sky"

(feat. Wyclef Jean)

[Verse 1:]
Poppin', knockin' when I met you
Shorty had the long extensions
Told her I’m a bad man
But I only got the best intentions
Rougher, tougher, not a bluffer
I want you to be my lover
We don’t have to take it undercover
Just under the covers
Bells are ringing, people singing
Rice is throwin', flower bringing
Ting a ling a ling
The honeymoon is when we goin' in
I take you to a place that you didn’t even know exist
What’s your wish
Dinner at the Eiffel tower in Paris

[Pre-Hook:]
Shottas in the basement party
Turned into the greatest party
Never seen my baby comin'
Just one hit and we went up
Am I in love or trippin'
Now I feel my body driftin'
Baby girl she got me lifted
Am I addicted?

[Hook:]
She’s so fly
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
She’s so high
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
Excuse her while she kiss the sky

[Verse 2:]
Jaw droppin' when she walkin'
Kinda thing that happen often
More than just a little happy
Shuttin' down a city block
The latest gear is what she wear
You see that stunner in her ear
Fashion week all year
Throwin' money in the air
I’m just happy with my lady
Other girls they wanna hate her
It come with the territory
Ball players wanna date her
All we got is loyalty
I’m treatin' you like royalty
I’mma spoil you every day of the week

[Pre-Hook:]
Shottas in the basement party
Turned into the greatest party
Never seen my baby comin'
Just one hit and we went up
Am I in love or trippin'
Now I feel my body driftin'
Baby girl she got me lifted
Am I addicted?

[Hook:]
She’s so fly
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
She’s so high
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
Excuse her while she kiss the sky

[Bridge:]
Hey baby, baby, hey baby
Hey baby, baby, hey baby
Take a breath
Inhale, exhale, now breathe baby
Hey baby, baby, hey baby
Hey baby, baby, hey baby
Inhale, exhale, let’s take a breath and breathe baby

[Hook:]
She’s so fly
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
She’s so high
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
Excuse her while she kiss the sky

[Outro with "Oh's" in background:]
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
Excuse her while she kiss the sky

The Knocks - Time Lyrics

"Time"

You were born in to the rhythm
Marinated by the sound
Of a billion voices
On the merry-go-round

There's too much information
To know that love is free
It comes in every color
So go make a masterpiece

Time, oh, time
Feels like she keeps passing you by
You gotta take some time, sometimes
to know that she's been right by your sides

(Sing it)
(Feel it)
(Hold it)
(Moan it)
(Dream it)
(Touch it)
(Sing it)

'Cause everything is right on time
Don't you know you'll never know why
Time...

What's inside your picture
And who you gonna save
The preacher's in your backyard
Who's digging your grave
Maybe there's a reason
An invitation to the show

Keep some karma in your corner
And pick your poison to the toast

Time, oh, time
Feels like she keeps passing you by
You gotta take some time, sometimes
to know that she's been right by your sides

(Sing it)
(Feel it)
(Hold it)
(Moan it)
(Dream it)
(Touch it)
(Sing it)

'Cause everything is right on time
Don't you know you'll never know why
Time...

(Feel it)
(alright)
(Dream it)
(Hold it)
(Moan it)
(Oh yeah!)

Time, oh, time...
Feels like she keeps passing you by
You gotta take some time, sometimes
to know that she's been right by your sides

(Sing it)
(Feel it)
(Hold it)
(Moan it)
(Dream it)
(Touch it)
(Sing it)

'Cause everything is right on time
Don't you know you'll never know why
Time...

Time, oh, time...
Feels like she keeps passing you by
You gotta take some time, sometimes
to know that she's been right by your sides (Yeah!)

(Sing it)
(Feel it)
(Hold it)
(Moan it)
(Dream it)
(Touch it)
(Sing it)

'Cause everything is right on time
Don't you know you'll never know why
Time...

(Sing it)
(Feel it)
(Hold it)
(Moan it)
(Dream it)
(Touch it)
(Sing it)

'Cause everything is right on time
Don't you know you'll never know why
Time...

The Knocks - New York City Lyrics

"New York City"

(feat. Cam'ron)

[Intro: Cam'ron]
New York City
Welcome to Medina, the Mecca, the melting pot
Where you could be playin' ball or sellin' rocks
Tell the cops, they don't care
If you starvin', they won't share
All they'll say is, "Get your own, mothafucka'"
See the love isn't unconditional
A demonstration of unification is uncivilized
If you're ahead of the game, it's you they epitomize
But all these bright lights, how could you not visualize?
The Apple is rotten, but I love it

[Verse: Cam'ron]
We're in New York
42nd and Broadway, you'll see a play
142nd and Broadway, see the yay
Unwritten rules you follow, it's no need to say
They take your chips, I ain't talkin' no Frito Lay
We're in New York
No Allstate or Geico
But you got that money for lipo'
In the trunk, most of us got the rifle
Get your purse snatched from a psycho, where?
We're in New York
When I watched the towers fall
But nobody takin' ours, y'all
20 gunshots, call that a shower, y'all
Money, respect, don't forget the power, y'all
We're in New York
Certain beef you can't call off
So get holes in your body, like a golf course
Yeah, shotty to the brain
See you thought it was a game, but...

[Hook:]
We're in New York City
We're in New York City
We're in New York City
When I watched the towers fall
We're in New York City
Nobody takin' ours, y'all

[Outro: Cam'ron]
We're in New York
When I watched the towers fall
But nobody takin' ours, y'all
20 gunshots, call that a shower, y'all
Money, respect, don't forget the power, y'all
We're in New York
Certain beef you can't call off
So get holes in your body, like a golf course
Yeah, shotty to the brain
See you thought it was a game, but...
