Tame Impala - Music to Walk Home By
from their 2012 album Lonerism
Intro:
The song starts off with some crazy synth sound effects and then goes into...
Chorus:
"But that's only when I think of you,
Some vision that I hold on to,
You know it's everything I do,
You know it's everything I do"

Can almost hear the fun that I should be having,
Instead of just dreaming"
