Lyrics
Thought I Knew You Before
I thought I knew you before,
I thought I knew but now I'm not so sure I thought I knew you before,
Way back when, when then was then Before I'd evened up the score
I thought I knew...
Remember, spring was in our steps,
The colours bursting through our eyes.
Heightening our senses
And promising our lives - our lives
A short hot summer took us way up high.
Sunlight shimmering across your skin,
Hazing, lazing by the water's edge,
Letting love and hope begin.- Begin.
I thought I knew you before,
Thought I knew how to keep it pure.
I thought I knew you before,
And it's not so very long ago
I said I'd been fooled before
I thought I knew...
Then Autumn blew it's leaves at us
The colours swirling through the park.
Laughing as we fanned our flames.
Warming while the world turned dark. - Turned dark.
Without apologising, winter came
The sky turned to gun-metal grey.
Oh there's nothing more heart-breaking
Than all those tears on Christmas Day - on Christmas Day.
I thought I knew you before, Thought I was bullet proof for sure.
I thought I knew you before,
Barely a year, yet so long ago Before I knew anymore
I thought I knew you...
You thought you knew me before,
But you had only scratched the surface.
What I do know is the cure,
I blossom, now. For evermore.
