I Know
John Christian Rockmeyer 1968 (Texas)
Coming home for Christmas
And I know I should be glad
'Cause I miss your heart, your face, your breath,
Your every word
But I wake up worrying
About the things we said
And we're having conversations
about conversations.... about conversations
Man... And I get lost
I can't find my way
We want to work IT out, keep IT together
But what is IT
'Cause it ain't you and it ain't me
And I know you know I know
That I want to reach out and hold your hand
And see the doubt suddenly
Disappear from your face
And I know you know I know
You understand
But I know you know I know
Instead tonight we say goodbye
And I just want to thank you
For loving me
As we send this kiss away
To a summer land of memories
But just one more thing
Before you turn and walk away
Take another step further
From this mess that we called love
I have never been loved like this before
Probably won't again
What a shitty way to end
But sticks and stones
And everything else that was thrown
We took it all and built a wall
And on the other side
The place we used to run and hide
It was you and me, and me and you
You and Me against it all
And I know you know I know
That I want to reach out and hold your hand
And
see the doubt suddenly
Disappear from your eyes
And I know you know I know
You understand
But I know you know I know
Instead tonight we say goodbye
And I just want to thank you
For loving me
As we send this kiss away
To a summer land of memories
I know
You know
I know
Don't want to say goodbye
I know
