Lyrics
That's How You Know
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.
When you take the train to midtown to have coffee by yourself
Pull the pictures from the drawer and put them back up on the shelf
When you hear the sound of church bells
And they don't make you wanna cry
And you're not getting drunk just so you can hide
That's how you know
That's how you know
When you open up the curtains - start answering the phone
Stop driving around for hours - cuz you hate going home
When you can talk about it - even say their name
When you start thinking you'll survive even though
You'll never be the same
That's how you know
That's how you know
That's how you know
That's how you know
There's no such thing as a long goodbye
When you wish it would've lasted your whole life
When you don't need a cigarette or a pill to help you sleep
When you don't end every night on the hard wood on your knees
When you wake up one morning surprised to see the world exists
And your eyes ain't full of tears
Your heart ain't full of bitterness
That's how you know, that's how you know
That's how you know, that's how you know
When you're thankful that you ever knew a love this strong
When you finally find the courage to write this song
That's how you know
That's how you know
That's how you know
You're moving on
