Lyrics:
We talk about favorite colors
We talk about the weather
And whether we should go out tonight
You ask about my family
We go back and forth politely
And who’s to say that simple isn’t right?
But he used to read me lines of poetry
Draw sketches of my favorite things
And stay up all night playing his guitar
He learned to play my favorite songs
Just so I could sing them all
Yeah he knew me like he’d known me all along
You talk about the future
It’s not too far to venture
How you’d offer me a sweet and normal life
But you don’t understand me
And not for lack of trying
It is hard for me to open up sometimes
But he used to call me on my bullshit
We used to laugh about it
How he could read the mischief in my eyes
He heard me out when things went wrong
He was gentle, he was calm
And he knew me like he’d known me all along
Who really knows if we were soulmates
Or twin flames
Who really knows if we were meant to be
Or just stumbling
in the same direction
For too long
And I’m overdue for moving on
But he used to read me lines of poetry
Draw sketches of my favorite things
And stay up all night playing his guitar
He learned to play my favorite songs
Just so I could sing them all
Its like he knew me, like he knew me
He used to call me on my bullshit
We used to laugh about it
How he could read the mischief in my eyes
He heard me out when things went wrong
He was gentle, he was calm
And he knew me like he’d known me all along
Yeah, he knew me like he’d known me all along
