[Verse 1 | intimate, wondering] I can't remember learning your name But my mouth already knows how it tastes Can't recall the first time we met But my arms remember your shape [Pre-Chorus | building] There's a song on the radio I swear I've never heard But I'm singing every wo-o-ord (every word) How do I know what I never learned? [Chorus | soaring, emotional release] I know you Not from memory, something deeper I know you Like a dream I forgot but I keep her Close to my chest without knowing why Some things don't need a reason I know you — that's enough tonight [Verse 2 | soft, reflective] Found a journal I don't recall writing But the handwriting's mine, no fighting Every word feels like coming home To a house I forgot I was building [Pre-Chorus | growing intensity] There's a face in the mirror I haven't seen Since before I knew what mirrors mean (what they mean) How do I recognize what I've never been? [Chorus | full power] I know you Not from memory, something deeper I know you Like a song I never learned but I'm the keeper Of every note without knowing how Some things don't need a history I know you — that's enough for now [Bridge | stripped back, vulnerable] Maybe knowing isn't remembering Maybe home isn't where you've been Maybe love is recognition Of a shape you've always carried within [Final Chorus | anthemic, transcendent] I KNOW YOU The way my lungs know breathing I KNOW YOU The way a heart knows beating Before the brain, before the why Some things are written deeper I know you — I don't need to know why [Outro | fading, warm] I know you (always knew you) I know you (always you) I know you...
