lyrics

faded in to black and white
one day I realized I crossed a line
a lightning bolt, that's what they told me it would be
it's not impossible, but you know I'm rational

how do you know until you know?
I didn't know I didn't know
all that I knew was a shade of what is and what's to come

I must have noticed before that day
I came home just like usual
you had strung up twinkling lights over my bed so that at night
it would be like heaven

how do you know until you know?
I didn't know until I knew that I had found you
now I know that I know
your love is all I want to know

sleepless cities and teary nights
of questions and no answers
it's funny how now I don't mind so much
cause you just hold me tighter
and I just want to be near to you

now I know that I know
I don't want any part of life without you
now I know that I know
your love is all I want to know

how do you know until you know
I didn't know until i knew that I had found you
now I know that I know
I don't want any part of life without you

so now I know that I know
but how do you know until you know
