THINGS WE DIDN'T KNOW

from BRIGHTON by Joe Sorensen

/

lyrics

You said you never wanted songs about you
I said I never wanted you to leave
I guess that neither of us got what we want
The only time we ever disagreed

The thought this could be my final first kiss
Fell fast and heavy like I always do
But this time you were fallin' right there with me
We kept on fallin' 'til we fell on through

And now I'm sittin' in my city thinkin' 'bout the week I spent in yours
Never knowin' it would be the only time I'd walk your floors
Gettin' on a plane and plannin' when I'd see your place again
Never knew in seven days you'd bring us to a sudden end

The head, the heart, like you and I were dancing
Now like your head I'm left to dance alone
I want to blame you, but I know these steps well
You didn't know the things you didn't know

Are you thinkin' of me now? It's nine, the time we'd make our nightly calls
Or was it easy leavin' me? I thought we broke your walls
Haven't heard a single word from you since you hung up the phone
And I know that's how it goes, but I fall fast and move on slow

I fall fast and move on slow

There's no going back, but it still takes time
To move on from the past, I thought that you were mine
I had a hope but now goodbye is all I have
Future dreams are now just figments of the past

There's no going back, but it still takes time
To move on from the past, I thought that you were mine
I had a hope but now goodbye is all I have
Future dreams are now just figments of the past

You didn't know the things you didn't know
I didn't know the things I didn't know
We didn't know the things we didn't know

You didn't know the things you didn't know
I didn't know the things I didn't know
We didn't know the things we didn't know
