lyrics
i used to be so sure
that we would find a way
so much time has passed
but i have lost that confidence and hope
that made me sure
if i only knew now what i knew then
mother nature is cruel:
iron fist and golden rule
everything runs out
so you stay in the shallow end of the pool
if i only knew now what i knew then
these hours pass like years
in the absence of yr melody
a negative space in my afternoon
shaped just like you
an echo with a long tail
an afterburn in the dark
and like the ringing in my ears
just like the ringing in my ears
if i only knew now what i knew then
that we would find a way
so much time has passed
but i have lost that confidence and hope
that made me sure
if i only knew now what i knew then
mother nature is cruel:
iron fist and golden rule
everything runs out
so you stay in the shallow end of the pool
if i only knew now what i knew then
these hours pass like years
in the absence of yr melody
a negative space in my afternoon
shaped just like you
an echo with a long tail
an afterburn in the dark
and like the ringing in my ears
just like the ringing in my ears
if i only knew now what i knew then
