Lyrics
I KNEW YOU BEFORE
[Verse 1]
You came in like you knew the place
Like you’d been here once before
No hesitation in your eyes
No asking at the door
And something in the way you looked at me
Felt older than this life
Like we’d already found each other
Somewhere on the other side
You’ve got fire underneath your softness
Thunder underneath your skin
And I swear sometimes I’m looking
At the girl I might’ve been
[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t explain it
I don’t need to anymore
Some souls don’t meet for the first time
They remember
[CHORUS]
I swear I knew you before I knew you
Before your eyes ever found mine
Like I’d been missing something nameless
My whole damn life
And when you came
Something ancient in me moved
Like my heart said,
“There you are…
I’ve been waiting for you.”
If there’s another life behind us
If there’s somewhere souls return—
I swear I knew you before I knew you
I just had to wait my turn
[Verse 2]
You’ve got sunlight when you’re laughing
But God help anyone who thinks
Something beautiful means fragile
Or that softness makes you weak
There’s a wildness in your spirit
I recognise a little too well
Like somebody took my fire
And taught it how to love itself
And maybe that’s why when I hold you
The whole world becomes small
All the noise I’ve ever carried
Doesn’t matter much at all
[Pre-Chorus]
There are millions upon millions
We could’ve passed right through
So tell me why my whole existence
Feels familiar next to you
[CHORUS]
I swear I knew you before I knew you
Before your eyes ever found mine
Like I’d been missing something nameless
My whole damn life
And when you came
Something ancient in me moved
Like my heart said,
“There you are…
I’ve been waiting for you.”
If there’s another life behind us
If there’s somewhere souls return—
I swear I knew you before I knew you
I just had to wait my turn
[Bridge — very stripped]
Maybe you’re not here to save me
Maybe I’m not here to save you
Maybe love is something stranger—
Maybe we’re just meant
to recognise the truth
[pause]
Because I’ve looked into your eyes
And seen something I can’t explain
Something wild
Something golden
Something painfully the same
And I thought—
There you are.
God…
There you are.
[FINAL CHORUS]
I KNOW I KNEW YOU BEFORE I KNEW YOU
I don’t care if it makes no sense
Some things are bigger than a lifetime
Some love doesn’t need evidence
And if the whole world changes
If we become somebody new
There’ll always be something inside me
That remembers something in you
And if there’s another lifetime
Promise you’ll find me there too
I’ll know you by the fire
I’ll know you by those eyes
I’ll know you before you say a word
Like I’ve known you every life
[music drops]
And my heart will do
What it did the first time—
“There you are.”
[Outro]
Maybe forever isn’t endless.
Maybe forever
is recognising someone
every time you find them.
