[Verse: 1]

I been licking my wounds

Sick of holding my tongue

I been sweating my way up those blue hills

Now I'm taking the plunge

I been stealing my nerves

And I'm breaking a lot of wishbones

Hope I'm displaying manly virtue

Hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew

[Chorus:]

Oh wouldn't it be nice to know?

Oh wouldn't it be nice to know?

[Verse: 2]

I been speaking out of turn

Feel invincible behind that silver fern

And I'm full of a bittersweet anger

Sick of meaningful dialogue

I been playing the high and mighty

Now I'm trying to act my age

I been making up for lost time

Hope I'm cooking my goose for the very last time

[Chorus:]

Oh wouldn't it be nice to know?

Oh wouldn't it be nice to know?

Oh wouldn't it be nice to know?

Oh wouldn't it be nice to know?

[Bridge:]

It would be nice to know

It would be nice to know

It would be nice to know

It would be nice to know

Would be nice to know

[Verse: 1]

I been licking my wounds

Sick of holding my tongue

I been sweating my way up those blue hills

Now I'm taking the plunge

I been stealing my nerves

And I'm breaking a lot of wishbones

Hope I'm displaying manly virtue

Hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew

[Chorus:]

Wouldn't it be nice to know?

Oh wouldn't it be nice to know?

Oh wouldn't it be nice to know?

Oh wouldn't it be nice to know?
