"How Could I Have Known" lyrics

Big Thief Lyrics

"How Could I Have Known"

How could I have known
In that moment
What we'd turn into?
I was alone in that moment
When I first met you

You reminded me of the river
With your eyes both green and blue
You reminded me of everything
Beautiful and true

Today I walked to the Eiffel Tower
And I stood out in the rain
It was some empty power
I could not explain
As I stood along that river
Where the lovers left their chains

It reminded me of everyone
I had ever tried to claim
And they say time's the fourth dimension
They say everything lives and dies
But our love will live forever
Though today we said goodbye
How could I have known

How could I have known
In that moment
What we'd turn into?
I was alone in that moment
When I first met you
