I Know

Sharon Van Etten

Now I turn into a lover on the side

I cannot tell the poet eye apart from mine

And now you see me with a tear fall on my right

I know you know

You see me turn around and try to hide my sigh

I know the ancient melodies will come at night

I sing about my fear and love and what it brings

I know, I know

And then you push me out

And then you push me out

I know, I know

And then you disappear because you can't fight fear

I know, I know

I sit inside a box and try to find my thoughts

With cups upon my ears so I can shut it out

I see you listen to my body and say

I know, I know

I know it's hard to find out what I'm not

I know, I know

And here we are apart, but here together are

Our hearts that now beat for each other, although far

I hear your voice and I know what it calls

I know, I know

Hold on, hold on

I want you

Hold on, hold on

All I ever wanted was you
