If I Didn't Know

If I didn’t know I couldn’t want you

If I didn’t know I couldn’t want you

If I didn’t know I couldn’t want you more

Monday morning back to work just like you said

If I keep moving then I won’t be counted dead

Grease the hinges but they still refuse to budge

Ceiling changes if I wait for long enough

Something’s lost when I translate you

Think I have it then it slips through

Decoding you has proved the hardest thing

I’ll know you love me if it starts to sting

If I didn’t know I couldn’t want you

If I didn’t know I couldn’t want you

If I didn’t know I couldn’t want you more

Friday evening and the drinks we pass around

You say, ‘Jenny, you look better on the ground’

My name spells emergency; quick darling make me hurt

I’m begging you on scabbing knees and swallowing your dirt

Something’s lost when I translate you

Think I have it then it slips through

Decoding you has proved the hardest thing

I’ll know you love me if it starts to sting

If I didn’t know I couldn’t want you

If I didn’t know I couldn’t want you

If I didn’t know I couldn’t want you more
