I JUST KNOW
[Verse 1]
We started out with nothing serious
Long nights, dead air on the telephone
Didn’t know silence could sound like safety
Didn’t know a stranger could feel like home
You called me yours, I followed west
Young enough not to know what came next
But something in me already knew
I’d never quite be done with you
[Pre-Chorus]
Years went by
Lives moved on
Still you never really felt gone
Then I heard your voice again
And there you were
[Chorus]
I just know
When you look at me that way
I just know
When there’s nothing left to say
I could question everything
Lose the ground beneath my feet
But when you say you love me
There’s no doubt in me
I just know
I just know
[Verse 2]
You keep whole worlds behind your eyes
Half your conversations stay inside
I push your buttons just to see
If I can get a rise sometimes
Everybody thinks you missed the room
I know you saw it all
Every little thing I thought slipped by
You were watching after all
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t have
To rescue me
You just stay and let me breathe
Put your hand on me
And suddenly
I can just be
[Chorus]
I just know
When you look at me that way
I just know
When there’s nothing left to say
I could question everything
Lose the ground beneath my feet
But when you say you love me
There’s no doubt in me
I just know
I just know
[Bridge — half-sung / half-spoken]
We’ve slammed the doors
We’ve lost some days
Let silence say what we couldn’t say
Then somewhere in the quiet, we speak
You find your way back next to me
We’ve lost each other
Found us twice
Built a family, built a life
And after everything we’ve known
You’re still the place I call my own
[Breakdown]
Say it again
Like only you do
Good boy
And I’m twenty-something
On the other end of the line
And I’m here right now
And somehow both are mine
[Final Chorus]
I just know
When I look into your eyes
I just know
There’s a love I recognize
Let the whole world rearrange
Let everything around us change
There’s one thing time has never changed in me
I just know
[Outro]
I am yours
And you are mine
Through every life
Through every time
No need to promise
What we already know
Always
and forever
I just know.
