about

This is the song-equivalent to human chess. I tried to encompass the dance I do when my guard is coming down and I’m letting someone into my life. It’s about making friends, forming relationships and being vulnerable. Three things that scare the hell out of me. But also three things that I need in my human experience to feel fully alive.

lyrics

Know You
Verse 1
You take one step
And I’ll take mine
You take two left
So I go right, see
You know the answer to
All of my questions, you
Don’t leave me hanging
Don’t keep my guessing

Pre-Chorus
So why, why, why,
Why do I keep on running,
This crazy life
When a home my heart has found I’ll

Chorus
Let your light shine bright on me love,
Won’t fight, I’ll take it up
Maybe it’s about time
That we stopped
Living our separate lives
Let your light shine bright and I think I’ll find
Another reason I cannot hide
From this strong leading I have it’s right.
That I’m getting to know you

Verse 2
Won’t hold my breath, if we capsize
No I don’t swim
I guess I’ll try to
To walk the water
To leave the dry land and
Ill flood the border
See the horizon

Pre-Chorus
So look outside
Cause I know this life is worth something
And let’s live right
Even though we came here with nothing

Chorus
Let your light shine bright on me love,
Wont fight, I’ll take it up
Maybe it’s about time
That we stopped
Living our separate lives
Let your light shine bright and I think I’ll find
Another reason I cannot hide
From this strong leading I have it’s right.
That I’m getting to know you

Bridge
And what do they call this love we’ve found
It’s called a good thing
Look at what we have now,
I think it’s called a good thing
So don’t rewind
Don’t fast forward
Just be home here
In this moment I’ll

Chorus
Let your light shine bright on me love,
Won’t fight, I’ll take it up
Maybe it’s about time
That we stopped
Living our separate lives
Let your light shine bright and I think I’ll find
Another reason I cannot hide
From this strong leading I have it’s right.
That I’m getting to know you
