When I was younger,
had it all set, planned
I knew how to sway what I meant
thought I knew what was right
what was wrong,
what was real
thought I knew what the rules were

Here I am, somehow
older than I ought to be
Sleepless nights and endless days
Longing to share the silliness
of finding you
of needing you
Thought I knew what want was

From outside what a crazy spectacle
I should know better, so I stay home
Keep to myself-stay steadily away
Then you're there
I have to smile
thought I knew what need was

Looking at you always seems right
Protocol and promises
Cage the anguish hidden here
Being near you is all I have
No words can be shared
My tongue would never compromise
But I couldn't deny
The longing in these eyes

Tell me in the end - it's all even
All of this sacrifice will be repaid
And somehow or someway, I'll be at peace
All I have
is all of you
Thought I knew what love was

Repeat Chorus
