When You Know You Know

(album: Expert In A Dying Field - 2022)

Walking on the wire
And all the while aspiring
To keep my level eye from looking down
Your beauty in the fore
A new unfolding story arc
Denouement I could keep rolling toward

But if you won't commit to the expedition
I could go alone on a solo mission
Never seen a heart in a worse condition
Pinning all my hopes to the wrong pincushion
But if you want to try we could leave it all tonight
We could be aglow in the streetlight

Running down the road to jog the memory
Like tit for tat, that is you for me
And it's quite a cost but nothing comes for free
But when you know you know you know
It's meant to be
Meant to be

It takes all of my restraint
Not climbing in your cranium
To observe the way the furniture's arranged
Scratching at the door
They're gonna call security
So I can't creep around here anymore

But I can see a way to a new horizon
Squinting through the clouds 'til it burns my eyes and
Every other star is a sun that's rising
And every other word I'm apologising
But I just want to know
Is this where you want to go?
You and me aglow in the cosmos

Running down the road to jog the memory
Like tit for tat, that is you for me
And it's quite a cost but nothing comes for free
But when you know you know you know
It's meant to be
Meant to be

And all morning I've been crying in the rain
This theatre I've been trying to contain
Yeah it all could fall apart eventually
But when you know you know you know you know...

Meant to be
