Mark Kozelek - I Know lyrics

I know I barely know you We've only said hello And this, some silent greeting I thought I saw you throw I know I'm rather quiet Whenever you're around I choke on all my words I hardly make a sound I know I must seem silly Just staring at my feet In some dim and dusty corner Where I'm swaying to the beat I know it's kinda crazy The way you make me feel Turning shades of grey to color You make the common so surreal Yes I know you barely know me So there's no way that you could tell That you were summoned from my dreams You're a wish called down a well And I know that you may doubt me When I say that you're the one I've been waiting all my life for And now it's only just begun But I know you might not want me All the ways I'm wanting you So I try to shut such thoughts out And I pray this isn't true Because I know that in your absence The hole that would remain Would swallow me completely How could you make me feel such pain? And I know I seem dramatic But you've really no idea Of how bleak it'd be without you Of how dark the night would seem Yes I know there's nothing colder Than somewhere without your fire And without the breath you bring me I would hastily expire And yet the hearth I thought your heart was I mustn't on its warmth depend And the air that I've been breathing I shouldn't think I'll ne'er expend Because I know this song I'm singing Doesn't mean a goddamn thing For if you love me then you love me And if you don't, you don't - the end
