Lyrics
A knocking sound, it woke me up But my legs were feeling weak I stared up at the ceiling and I saw you at the window But my mouth wouldn't let me speak I know you You're the one I spent three seasons trying To pretend that I never knew Something pulled me off the bed And the same thing moved the muscles in my legs I moved toward your voice, and my body got so light I could've walked on eggs right then and not broken a one of them I know you You're the one I spent three seasons trying To pretend that I never knew I know you You're the one I spent three seasons trying To pretend that I never knew I know you You're the one I spent three seasons trying To pretend that I never knew I know you You're the one I spent three seasons trying To pretend that I never knew
