Now That I Know
I get you
I see through
The same eyes
You do
I feel you
Soft skin
And you come unglued
If I knew how
I would find a way in
I would get in now
I would get to you
If I could
If I knew
What this meant
It's new
And it's killing me
So sweet
Like a bee sting
I know
I have no right
Asking anything of you
Not after that night
I understand
How it felt
When you took my hand
Fingers locked
Eyes met
You were everything
I needed to forget
All that ugly
All the truth
I never saw
Until you
Soft brown eyes
I never knew
What I was missing
Until you
I don't know
And I don't mind
That I'm unsure
It's never felt this real
I've never come alive
Like I do
Then when I'm with you
Even now
As scared as we are
Hearts beating time
You feel right
Like you've been mine
All along
Never felt it
This strong
Like I'm one breath away
From getting carried off
With the wind
So just take my hand
Take your time
Taking me down
With you
Whatever you are
Your skin
Is soft
Like mine
You kill me
With those eyes
And every time you smile
I feel like I die
And come alive
All at the same time
And now
That I know
What this tastes like
There's no way
I can ever go back
To life
Before you
