Something I’ve Always Known

I wake in the night to the sound of the city, asleep
I walk to the window; see the streetlights dotting the trees
And in that moment I want you by my side
And it comes over me like a wave and I’m caught in the tide

But it’s something I’ve always known

I pull out the photo we took at your cousin’s birthday
You’re sticking your tongue out at me while I’m kissing your face
And it suddenly scares me ’cause I’ve never felt this before
But it’s clear in my heart it’s a feeling that I can’t ignore

‘Cause it’s something I’ve always known
Yeah, oh, it’s something I’ve always known

It’s an end and it’s a start
It’s down to earth and worlds apart
The first love I would ever choose
The last one I would want to lose

It beats in my heart; it flows right through my veins
A beautiful mystery that I could never explain:
How a soul like yours could make me feel so alive
And you do it all in a way that I can’t describe

But it’s something I’ve always known
Yeah, oh, it’s something I’ve always known
Yeah, oh, it’s something I’ve always known
Yeah, oh, it’s something I’ve always known
