Lyrics
The Things I Should Have Known
Walking on a broken road
somewhere near my home
I heard a blackbird singing low
reminds me I'm alone
I picked up a flat rock
and skipped it across a stream
I was thinkin' about a song
that would bring her back to me
the words they come and go
is it fast or slow
will it make her cry
or put a smile in her eyes
wish that I could write the song
'bout the things I should have known
All the things I should have known
I feel the night is closing in
Still not sure where I am
And the only thing that I can hear
Is the sound of myself cryin'
I know it was all the little things
That I just couldn't see
Cause I was in the next room writing songs
To make her fall in love with me
the words they come and go
is it fast or slow
will it make her cry
or put a smile in her eyes
I wonder will I find a verse
that just makes sense to her
will I ever write the song
'bout the things I should have known
simple things like quiet hours
you never made it tough on me
all I had to do was listen
now I'm just gonna miss them
the words they come and go
is it fast or slow
will it make her cry
or put a smile in her eyes
will I ever write the song...
about the things... I should have known
