Well, I met you at the blood bank
We were looking at the bags
Wondering if any of the colors
Matched any of the names we knew on the tags

You said "see lookit, that's yours
Stacked on top with your brother's
See how they resemble one another
Even in their plastic little covers"

And I said I know it well

That secret that you knew
But don't know how to tell
It fucks with your honor
And it teases your head
But you know that it's good, girl
'Cause its running you with red

Then the snow started falling
We were stuck out in your car
You were rubbing both of my hands
Chewing on a candy bar

You said "ain't this just like the present
To be showing up like this"
As a moon waned to crescent
We started to kiss

And I said I know it well

That secret that we know
That we don't know how to tell
I'm in love with your honor
I'm in love with your cheeks
What's that noise up the stairs babe?
Is that Christmas morning creaks?

And I said I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well

    "And I said I know it well That secret that you know But don't know how to tell It fucks with your honor And it teases your head But you know that it's good girl 'cause it's running you with red"

    just this part...wow. those lyrics pulled me in. I think maybe the girl started to fall in love with the man who is singing after having a close unexpected friendship and she is scared to admit it (the secret she knows but doesn't know how to tell) but he can see right through her and he may feel the same about her, so he "knows it well." but she is in a relationship that is kinda going down hill but she wants it to work so badly but her falling in love with her friend is fucking with her honor and teasing her head. but he tells her that it's okay because she's happy and filled with love: "red."

    "Then the snow started falling We were stuck out in your car You were rubbing both of my hands Chewing on a candy bar You said "ain't this just like the present To be showing up like this" As a moon waned to crescent We started to kiss"

    then this part is about the two of them just hanging out and then they got stuck together and she thinks this is meant to be and says "ain't this just like the present to be showing up like this." then nothing can stop them and they just kissed. so she cheated!

    "that secret that we know that we don't know how to tell I'm in love with your honor I'm in love with your cheeks what's that noise up the stairs baby is that Christmas morning"

    now it's a secret that they both know, and they don't know how to just say it. but she knows she must so he's in love with her honor and then he throws it out that he loves her (cheeks)...but the Christmas throws me off AH! but I happened to get that out of this song from some personal experiences. I love this song dearly, and it's so touching and moving WOW it's just incredible.
