[Verse 1] Knowing you, you probably got your toes in the sand At a bar on a beach in the sun somewhere Knowing you, you got something cold in your hand Chatting up a stranger without a care Knowing you, you're still wild and free And knowing you, you're probably way over me [Chorus] But God, we were so alive I was a kid on a carnival ride Holdin' my breath 'til the moment When you were gonna leave me too soon But I'd do it all over 'Cause, damn, it was good knowing you [Verse 2] Knowing you was a free-fall from a hundred thousand feet When you don't even care where you land And knowing you was the kind of rush that you feel When you finally get to sit in with the band And knowing you, you're still a tumbleweed I only wish that you would tumble back to me [Chorus] But God, we were so alive I was a kid on a carnival ride Holdin' my breath 'til the moment When you were gonna leave me too soon But I'd do it all over 'Cause, damn, it was good knowing you [Bridge] Knowing you, you're still a tumbleweed I only wish that you would tumble back to me [Chorus] 'Cause God, we were so alive I was a kid on a carnival ride Holdin' my breath 'til the moment When you were gonna leave me too soon I'd do it all over 'Cause, damn, it was good I'd do it all over 'Cause, damn, it was good knowing you
