Lyrics

How Did You Know?

There's a feeling I can't handle
When it's too hard to be standing
I wanna lie awake with you, stay
Do you wanna see a change?

I'm in love with the feeling I had
From when your eyes were glazed
I'm in love with the feeling I had
From when we were stuck in a cloud

I can't help this feeling
It's too soon to be falling
I'm afraid to commit
But I still find myself looking
For one worthy of taking
On this pathway of guilt
I need protection from my thoughts
Are invading the room where
I lie awake, yeah

You bring it in, oh
You bring it into my house
Into my house

I've moved six times in the last five years, help me rest
I look for a place to be happy but the city doesn't change it
The only thing that's different
Somebody new I met

I can't help this feeling
It's too soon to be falling
I'm afraid to commit
But I still find myself looking
For one worthy of taking
On this pathway of guilt
I need protection from my thoughts
Are invading the room where
I lie awake

You bring it in, oh
You bring it into my house
Into my house

You bring it in, oh
You bring it into my house
Into my house
You bring it into my house
Into my house

How did you know?
How did you know?
How did you know?
