Lyrics
Know Now Then
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's not so much that we got closer
it's that her face just got bigger
and by the time it was filling up my whole view
i figured my face had gotten bigger too
so i used it to try and sway her
say something to her
make my case
but my face
never had a chance
all along it was the wrong song and dance
i just stood there
without even a stance
helpless to he advance
and her retreat
backspace, delete
it wasn't so much that we fell in love as
my life just seemed to come down
to a slow walk on a straight line
between her smile and her frown
and maybe we never were as close
as we should have been
but i didn't know what i know now, then
yeah, i didn't know what i
know now, then
