I Wish I Could Tell You Lyrics by Mighty Tortuga

Mighty Tortuga

2024

[Verse 1]
Goodbye to the late-night scores
From the package store that wouldn’t check IDs
And the night where we all felt brave
So we danced on graves to bait the local myths and authorities
And I'm asking, please
If you give me yours, I can give you these
We starve for the muscle cars
And the Mexican guitars for which we dream
[Chorus]
I wish I could tell you (I don't mind)
Everything was red hues (a white lie)
Take another closer look and you’ll find
Traces of an honest shade behind
I wish I could tell you (I don't mind)
Everything was red hues (a white lie)
Take another closer look and you’ll find
Traces of an honest shade behind
[Verse 2]
A sigh for our younger years
We had no fear
(Chasing the sun away, nursing a drunken sway)
A tear for the wasted breath
We won’t get back
(Chasing the fading day, with nothing more to say)
[Chorus]
I wish I could tell you (I don't mind)
Everything was red hues (a white lie)
Take another closer look and you’ll find
Traces of an honest shade behind
I wish I could tell you (I don't mind)
Everything was red hues (a white lie)
Take another closer look and you’ll find
Traces of an honest shade behind
[Bridge]
I can’t recall if we were happy
I don’t mind a white lie
Another path I’d give up gladly
I won’t write a new line
[Chorus]
I wish I could tell you (I don’t mind)
Everything was red hues (a white lie)
Take another closer look and you’ll find
Traces of an honest shade behind
I wish I could tell you (I don’t mind)
Everything was red hues (a white lie)
Take another closer look and you’ll find
Traces of an honest shade behind
[Outro]
(I wish I could tell you)
I don't mind a white lie
I can’t recall if we were happy
That you're waiting for the sign
(I wish I could tell you)
I don't mind, behind
I don’t mind a white lie
That you're waiting for the sign
(I wish I could tell you)
I don't mind a white lie
Another path I’d give up gladly
That you're waiting for the sign
(I wish I could tell you)
I don't mind, I don't mind
I won’t write a new line
I don't mind, I don't mind
