Lyrics
I Knew What I Know Now
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.
You say you can't recall my name or my face
I am so sure I knew you well before this
I can't sing and I can't dance so good
There is no song, there is no beat left to dance
If I knew what I know now
I'm sure I could show how
The story all ends
If I knew what I know now
I'd probably just punk out
Before it begins
I can blame it on the rest of the world
To understand it takes a mind with patience
You say you can't recall my number, girl
A penny for your thoughts on beatings I have taken
Jotting stardates in your Captain's Log
I am for sure alone in this life
Building karma with your cats and your dogs
I am for sure the victor this time
If I knew what I know now
I'm sure I could show how
The story all ends
If I knew what I know now
I'd probably just punk out
Before it begins
