I Knew You
W’ed go fishing by that broke down Ford
There ain’t no fish in that water no more
You had songs now you’d sing to me
I’d play rhythm you’d play lead
I watched you wander out of the light
Towards that neon burning bright
Can you tell me what we found
A hand from the crowd and a push to the ground

We got older so it seems
Kept on dreaming our stupid dreams
We ain’t wiser you know it’s true
Remember when you knew everything and I knew you

Found someone stronger I see that now
Someone who knew how to keep you around
Someone to lead you to the eye of the storm
Where the winds blew silent and the water was warm
I hear your voice now when I play
Singing up high in that lonesome way
I never thought now you’d leave the ride
I keep looking for you on the passenger side
We got older so it seems
Kept on dreaming our stupid dreams
We ain’t wiser you know it’s true
Remember when you knew everything
And I knew you
I knew you
I knew you

I’ll go now and leave you behind
When the hook gets snagged you gotta cut the line
Curse your father, curse this town
Curse that bottle we used to pass around

We got older so it seems
Kept on dreaming our stupid dreams
We ain’t wiser It’s plain to see
Remember when I knew everything and you knew me
You knew me
You knew me
You knew me
