Jenny Owen Youngs If I Didn't Know
if i didn't know
i couldn't want you
if i didn't know
i couldn't want you
if i didn't know
i couldn't want you more
monday morning
back to work, just like you said
if i keep moving
then i wont be counted, dead, dead
grease the hinges
but they still refuse to budge
ceiling changes
if i wait for long enough
something's lost when i translate you
think i have it, then it slips through
decoding you has proved the hardest thing
i know you love me, if it starts to sting
if i didn't know
i couldn't want you
if i didn't know
i couldn't want you
if i didn't know
i couldn't want you more
friday evening and the drinks we pass around
you said 'jenny, you look better on the ground'
my name spells emergency
quick darling make me hurt
i'm begging you on scabbed knees
and swallowing your dirt
dirt
something's lost when i translate you
think i have it, then it slips through
decoding you has proved the hardest thing
i know you love me, if it starts to sting
if i didn't know
i couldn't want you
if i didn't know
i couldn't want you
if i didn't know
i couldn't want you more
if i didn't know
(if i didn't know)
i couldn't want you
if i didn't know
(if i didn't know)
i couldn't want you
if i didn't know
(if i didn't know)
i couldn't want you more
if i didn't know
i couldn't want you more
