about

I've heard the adage my whole life: when you know you know. People describe love at first sight as an irrevocable moment when you know you want to be with someone forever. I'm not sure it always shakes out like that. In my experience, as you get to know someone, you slowly come closer to knowing. It boils down to making an active decision to choose someone, or not. If not, you try to make a really painful, adult decision to move on, and you try to trust that it's the right decision even when it's hard. This song is about making that call.

lyrics

Late night driving with my arm around your shoulder
We're not waking up your roommate
So we’re coming through the back door
And I’m so okay now and I hardly ever think about her
Feels like we’ve been doing this longer than we have

This feels like a safe place
But I’m still kinda changing
If I don’t stop this train it’s going on and on and on

I thought time would change it but it won't
And there’s no good reason I should go
‘Cause I’m not much better on my own
But you know when you know and I don’t
You can’t pull water out of stone
And I can’t say anything went wrong
And it kills me leaving you alone
But you know when you know and I don’t

It’s a hard conversation that I’ve almost come to terms with
And I met your mom and brother and I know they really liked me
I wanna move across the country, not worry about calling
‘Cause I've seen the way this goes and I don’t wanna go there

This is gonna cut you
But I still kinda love you
But if I do this right it'll be alright, right?

I thought time would change it but it won't
And there’s no good reason I should go
‘Cause I’m not much better on my own
But you know when you know and I don’t
You can’t pull water out of stone
And I can’t say anything went wrong
And it kills me leaving you alone
But you know when you know and I

I don't wanna stop but I'm gonna walk away
‘Cause I know we're better off and someone's gotta say it
So I'm gonna cut this off before you waste four years just waiting

I thought time would change it but it won't
And there’s no good reason I should go
‘Cause I’m not much better on my own
But you know when you know and I don’t
You can’t pull water out of stone
And I can’t say anything went wrong
And it kills me leaving you alone
But you know when you know and I don’t
