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

    First of all, I cant listen to this song enough. And the lyrics play a part in that, basically what everyone else had said was what i got from the lyrics with the secret love between the two thats blossoming. my favorite part in the song being about the 'secret running her with red' which gives it away. Howeverrr the part in the song that i took a different approach to is the verse about christmas. I didnt really see it as a glimpse into the future altho, i quite like that idea, to me its more about christmas acting as like a metaphor. Christmas morning...you think of little kids and their emotions, the excitement, the possibility, the unknown, but still the complete joy that comes with it regardless. And to me its like he comparing those feelings to this new relationship with the girl
