Knocks, The - I Wish (My Taylor Swift) Lyrics






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

  36. I.... R....

    Okay, so does anyone know who the girl with the purple hair is?

  37. m.... ....

    best song ever

  38. c.... b....

    So,it's Taylor Swift approved,right?
    I mean she did hear the song which is literally 50% dedicated to her?

  39. D.... F....

    i see miley Cyrus on 2:49

  40. z.... ....

    this particular bop has me shook as well as lit!

  41. N.... K....

  44. J.... T....

    addicted to it.

  45. A.... S....

    Who's purple hair??

  46. I.... K....

    such a lit song

  47. J.... T....

    The dancing made me laugh.

  48. M.... A....

    This song deserves some recognition! 🔥

  49. J.... p....

    I told them it was too white but they didn't listen, they insisted the black guy playing the small guitar (or whatever that thing is called) was enough and the silly dance was going to make the video viral, fucking idiots!

  50. D.... X....

    Matthew's voice is so amazing. I'm so freaking addicted to it. Thank you The Knocks for making such a fun song with him :D

  51. R.... B....

    When a producer can include himself in the lyrics of his song is fantastic. Great job all around

    This is excellent

  53. L.... M....

    This song is so good

  54. M.... G....

  65. M.... R....

    Very cool ;-)

  66. I.... c....

    I'd love to hear a remix or something with the intro in the background

  67. _.... ....

    Many people doesn't seem to understand the Taylor Swift thing here...This song is not about her and they are not obsessed with her 😂 if you don't understand the point/references, go to read the lyrics and read some explanations to them. Don't take the lyrics too seriously.

    _.... ....

    _overcastkid_ I think you're right If this song got on the radio to listen or read the lyrics. he saying his ideal woman is someone like Taylor Swift not necessarily Taylor Swift. I'm guessing if you heard this song on the radio it would be easier to comprehend that. like it's one someone like Taylor Swift's personality and qualities more than looks. But this somewhat creepy music video has a bunch of women that have a Taylor Swift look to them dancing around so what do you expect? It comes off that way in this video he is wanting Taylor Swift look-alike and not something deeper. so I can see people interpreting it that way as well. Like I said what do you expect?

    _.... ....

    I wish I could meet my Taylor swift = I wish I could meet the person that I love.

  68. T.... S....

    Such an awesome song, better than most of the mainstreams I've been hearing everywhere too.

  69. K.... ....

    "The smoke and mirror Juliettes"

    K.... ....

    Pen and teller sisters

    K.... ....

    These will def make my favourite lines in songs list.

  70. f.... ....

    I love the song, it's amazing. As for the music video...I found it rather disturbing.

  71. A.... A....

    tell you why this didnt go viral? remixes are better! Knocks cmon...yall should have done better

  72. T.... 2....

    Who is the girl at the Center on 2:29- i need to know:)

  73. C.... N....

    Change the speed to 1.25 and I hope you enjoy!

    [Verse 1 : 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

  75. A.... ....

    I dont understand how this did not get in the mainstream. Its reeeally catchy. Stuck on my mind since the first time I heard it.

  76. M.... ....

    my favorit song

  77. P.... F....

    cadê a Taylor Swift

  78. T.... 2....

    I'm so confused, who's idea was it to place all the blonds and at the same time everyone was off key. And why didn't they put the two blonds they focused on in the bed scene ON THE BED and then focus on the dude in the middle with both the girls. Seems like a half-ass video but i like the song...

  79. T.... 2....

    The blonde at 2:06 is the one in the Classic song in the Sims pool

    T.... 2....

    Seems like this song is suppose to be like in the world of that girl?

  80. D.... A....

    banger of a tune

  81. M.... ....

    I like Louis the child remix better imo..

  82. f.... h....

    im so suprised this song isnt huge!

    f.... h....

    So true. The Knocks is getting more known and Matthew is already quite big name, so this might get more attention soon. This song is just brilliant.

    f.... h....

    flying high92 in 2018 it is sort of famou

  83. C.... N....

    here bc Donato :D

  84. S.... ....

    this song is so amazing, how did this not get viral??
    - actually i'm glad af it isn't mainstream

    S.... ....

    Shonz25 why tho lol

    S.... ....

    No doubt:) it's just better when a select few know about it. Makes the song have more meaning to me.

  85. O.... C....

    Nice song, but why Taylor Swift!?

    O.... C....

    I think the message of the song is how he spends all his time chasing after girls who are theoretically desirable, but always discovering he just ends up having to deal with all their BS problems (e.g. like every guy who's dated Taylor Swift). Then at the end he realises he was wishing for the wrong thing all along, and the girl that's right for him wasn't anything like a "Taylor Swift".

    O.... C....

    @Josiah Hunt now, that makes perfect sense! Thank you very much, Josiah.

    O.... C....

    No worries :)

  86. S.... C....

    Spotify Sent Me Here <3

  87. A.... M....

    Girl from right at 3:46 missed some instructions

  88. T.... s....

    I really miss him singing in some good progressive edm tracks

  89. N.... S....

    Proximity sent me here...

    N.... S....

    a mi también :D

    N.... S....

    Nobody cares.

    N.... S....

    technicalscience 0 sub guy

  90. D.... ....

    how did this not go viral?

    D.... ....

    Demented ikr

    D.... ....

    It doesn't matter what you hear in the song, it's what you see in the promotional material which would convey a "one side vs the other". you have to market stuff that crosses all lines and is catchy and appealing to go "viral"

    D.... ....

    TheTruthForPresident 2016 you seem quite smart

    D.... ....

    Demented. it did cuz I heard it in LA fitness

    D.... ....

    Sadly your probably right

  91. M.... B....

    I must have been on shrooms the day I wrote my last comment.

  92. 5.... ....

    The chill trap version of this is 10x better than this original mix

  93. t.... w....

    that slowed down shit in the beginning is amazing. can i get that as a whole song???

    t.... w....

    haha yeah

    t.... w....

    jimmyGetOverit where?

    t.... w....

    You can edit yourself, cpy paste intro. or set tempo lower on the original part ^^

    t.... w....

    pls anyone i want it. vaporwave version pls

    t.... w....

    That's what the entire song sounds like to me anyways. - when I'm off my face ;)

  94. H.... H....

    fiquei esperando a Taylor aparecer ou cantar no clipe , mas ela só faz : háhaaaaá

  95. D.... M....

    I know everyone asks who is that girl there and that girl there.. but the real question.. is who is that black guy?

    D.... M....

    Johnny Strong He is James. 1/2 of The Knocks

    D.... M....

    I figured it out.. Thanks anyways

    D.... M....

    @Johnny Strong good ✌ no problem

  96. S.... O....

    i wish taylor swift was actually the only video girl in this. all these fake slim shadys can sit down lol
