I Knew It, I Knew You

I knew you
Through the daze of the blades of the grass in summer
Parachutes
For the free fall of being younger, I
Memorized the sound of your bare footsteps

Running wild, it's been a long time
Life has ways of leaving those days behind
But seeing you tonight

I remembered I loved you
Came back when it mattered, I saw you
Standing there in the light of the window wearing that same smile
Man, it's been a while
But I knew it, I knew you
I knew it, I knew you

I knew you
All your blues, like a mood ring changing colors
You did too
There were times we could fight like brothers, I
Watched you drive around the bend for

What I thought would be the last time I saw my friend
But love has ways of bringing things back to life
All you said was: Hi

And I remembered I loved you
Came back when it mattered, I saw you
Standing there in the light of the window wearing that same smile
Man, it's been a while
But I knew it, I knew you (I knew, I knew)

I knew it, I knew you (I knew, I knew)
I knew it, I knew you (I knew, I knew), oh-oh-oh

Oh, the rivers I cried when we said goodbye
Wondering if I'd made it up in my mind
But now you look me in the eye

And you told me I loved you
Came back when it mattered, I saw you
Standing there in the light of the window wearing that same smile
Yeah, it's been a while, oh-oh-oh
Wearing that same smile
Man, it's been a while (man, it's been a while)
Wearing that same smile
Man, it's been a while
But I knew it, I knew you (ooh, I knew you, I knew)

(I knew you) I knew it, I knew you (I knew)
Wearing that same smile (ooh, I knew you, I knew)
I knew it, I knew you (ooh, I knew you, I knew)
I knew it, I knew you (ooh, I knew you, I knew)
I knew it
