"I Know You" lyrics

"I Know You"

You do not touch me as you rise
Your silent footsteps on the floor
Could you be believing the harsh words and the cries?
All the weapons from the night before

Oh no, no, oh no
I think I know you

Inside the vacuum of our signs
The crushing truth of all our years
Instantly, I find my mind
In the morning after light, it's so clear

I know you
Baby, I know you
Oh, I know you
Baby, I know you

Last night, the lightning in your eyes
Flashes of anger, we disagree
I know the heat when our thoughts and our fears collide
Comes from the same fire when you are underneath me, yeah

I know you

Come on, lover, look me in the eyes
You know I'd never do you no harm
Don't let the fear drag you down
Come closer now, honey
Let me keep you warm, let me keep you warm

'Cause I know you
Baby, I know you
'Cause I know you so well
I know you
Baby, I know you
Yes, I know you so well

Oh, we will forget everything that we whispered
We will forget everything that we screamed
Come closer now, closer now
We'll go back, it's gone like a bad dream

Oh, I know you
Baby, I know you
Baby, I know you so well
Baby, I know you
Baby, I know you
I know you so well
