If I Didn't Know Songtext

von Jenny Owen Youngs

If I didn't know I couldn't want you
If I didn't know I couldn't want you
If I didn't know I couldn't want you more

Monday morning
Back to work
Just like you said
If I keep moving then I won't be counted dead
Dead

Grease the hinges but they still refuse to budge
The ceiling changes if I wait for long enough
Enough

Something's lost when I translate you
Think I have it then it slips through
Decoding you has proved the hardest thing
I know you love me if it starts to sting

If I didn't know I couldn't want you
If I didn't know I couldn't want you
If I didn't know I couldn't want you more

Friday evening and the drinks we pass around
You said, "Jenny you look better on the ground"
Ground

My name spells emergency
Quick
Darling make me hurt
I'm begging you on scabby knees and swallowing your dirt
Dirt

Something's lost when I translate you
Think I have it then it slips through
Decoding you has proved the hardest thing
I know you love me if it starts to sting

If I didn't know I couldn't want you
If I didn't know I couldn't want you
If I didn't know I couldn't want you more

If I didn't know I couldn't want you
(If I didn't know)
If I didn't know I couldn't want you
(If I didn't know)
If I didn't know I couldn't want you more
(If I didn't know)

If I didn't know I couldn't want you more
