Wish I Knew You Then

I get uneasy every time

You look at me like that

I’m afraid we’re moving too fast

It’s naive to call you mine

‘Cause I’m caught up in the past

Afraid I won’t go back to those

Summer nights in mid-july

Innocence and clear blue eyes

Don’t know why I let it slip away

A heart full of fire

And time to waste

I wish I knew you then

I wish I knew you then

Cause I wouldn’t fight it

Or run away

I wish I knew you then

I wish I knew you then

You feel my pain like it’s your own

You see beyond my flaws

And I leave when it gets hard

You’re so patient and I know

I’m standing in my own way

You could be the one to save those

Summer nights in mid-july

Innocence and clear blue eyes

Don’t know why I let it slip away

A heart full of fire

And time to waste

I wish I knew you then

I wish I knew you then

Cause I wouldn’t fight it

Or run away

I wish I knew you then

I wish I knew you then

When I gave my all

Unafraid to fall

When I had no walls

I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you then

When I gave my all

Unafraid to fall

When I had no walls

I wish I knew you, when I had a

 

A heart full of fire

and time to waste

I wish I knew you then

I wish I knew you then

Cause I wouldn’t fight it

Or run away

I wish I knew you then

I wish I knew you then

A heart full of fire

And time waste

I wish I knew you then

I wish I knew you then

Cause I wouldn’t fight it

Or run away

I wish I knew you then

I wish I knew you then

I wish I knew you then

When I gave my all, unafraid to fall

I wish I knew you then
