"I Never Knew" lyrics
Necessity makes for terrible bargains
I pawned off my soul for something more hardened
Black lung the coal miners, digging for pennies
It's a small price for room board sex, hope, and a family
And if they dream of more they expect it to crumble at sunrise
But some mornings come once in a lifetime
We swear that we'll never forget them, we always do
We swear you can taste everything that you wanted
The skin of a girl and the smile of a dude
The aura of God and the fangs of a monster
They don't go together but somehow they do
So lean over the edge, reach out and grab it
You deserve it no matter what they tell you
Oh, I never knew that joy like this was out there
I never knew that the mist from the falls have the purest, cleanest air
Oh, I never knew that joy like this was out there
Never knew I could have more than my petty share
Only once have I seen a pink sunrise
Only once have I swam in a half frozen lake
Only once have I worn a cheap collar
And howled at the moon after too many drinks
And I wanna be here to do more
I wanna do it all again!
Before taking your life, you gotta kill the old one
Exhaust all your options, you gotta make sure
'Cause that Swiss Army knife, I held with white knuckles
Well I don't even know where it is anymore
I'm walking down side roads, and diving through dumpsters
Digging through the trash to find something unique
So lean over the edge, reach out and grab it
Oh I promise one day you'll be singing
That I never knew that joy like this was out there
I never knew that the mist from the falls have the purest, cleanest air
Oh, I never knew that joy like this was out there
Never knew I could have more than my petty share
Never knew that the falls have the cleanest air
I never knew that joy like this was out there
Was out there
I pawned off my soul for something more hardened
Black lung the coal miners, digging for pennies
It's a small price for room board sex, hope, and a family
And if they dream of more they expect it to crumble at sunrise
But some mornings come once in a lifetime
We swear that we'll never forget them, we always do
We swear you can taste everything that you wanted
The skin of a girl and the smile of a dude
The aura of God and the fangs of a monster
They don't go together but somehow they do
So lean over the edge, reach out and grab it
You deserve it no matter what they tell you
Oh, I never knew that joy like this was out there
I never knew that the mist from the falls have the purest, cleanest air
Oh, I never knew that joy like this was out there
Never knew I could have more than my petty share
Only once have I seen a pink sunrise
Only once have I swam in a half frozen lake
Only once have I worn a cheap collar
And howled at the moon after too many drinks
And I wanna be here to do more
I wanna do it all again!
Before taking your life, you gotta kill the old one
Exhaust all your options, you gotta make sure
'Cause that Swiss Army knife, I held with white knuckles
Well I don't even know where it is anymore
I'm walking down side roads, and diving through dumpsters
Digging through the trash to find something unique
So lean over the edge, reach out and grab it
Oh I promise one day you'll be singing
That I never knew that joy like this was out there
I never knew that the mist from the falls have the purest, cleanest air
Oh, I never knew that joy like this was out there
Never knew I could have more than my petty share
Never knew that the falls have the cleanest air
I never knew that joy like this was out there
Was out there
