Lyrics

I Know

[Verse 1] I know you love the song but not the singer I know you've got me wrapped around your finger I know you want the sin without the sinner I know I know [Chorus] I know the past will catch you up as you run faster I know the last in line is always called a bastard I know the past will catch you up as you run faster I know I know [Verse 2] I know you cut me loose from contradiction I know I'm all wrapped up in sweet attrition I know it's asking for your benediction I know I know [Chorus] I know the past will catch you up as you run faster I know the last in line is always called a bastard I know the past will catch you up as you run faster I know I know [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] I know the past will catch you up as you run faster I know the last in line is always called a bastard I know the past will catch you up as you run faster I know I know
