now i know

[Verse 1]

I thought it would be like poetry

That feeling of when eyes meet

They said it would feel so easy

Like how a bird takes to the trees

[Verse 2]

They've written the songs and films and books

Of how it would take just one timely look

To dance and fall your way into love

And that’s how you'll know he's the one

[Chorus]

It feels like way back when

I wish I had known it then

There’s no such thing as a soulmate

'Cause love is what you make of it

I think I've got a taste of it

I wish I had known all of this before

I wish I had known, but at least

Now I know

[Verse 3]

I thought summer vacation would never end (Never end)

That feeling of sinking toes in the sand

They said to enjoy it while you can

But those words never seemed to land

[Chorus]

It feels like way back when

I wish I had known it then

That time is the quickest of thieves

She won't ever be caught by nobody

She'll run all the way to eternity

I wish I had known all of this before

I wish I had known, but at least

Now I know

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

It feels like way back when

I wish I had known it then

That soon we'll be gone with a final breath

And there won't be time to hold onto regrets

But I know there's something on the other end

I wish I had known all of this before

I wish I had known, but at least

Now I know

[Outro]

I wish I had known, but at least

Now I know
