I Know Lyrics
I know I'll never see you
I know I'll never run into your body walking through the crooked streets
I know I'll never hear you
I know I'll never hear you like a sound that wafts inside from outside there
I know that if I waited
I know that if I wait a thousand days will lie wasted with thoughts of you
My love I've pictured this: your violet eyelids
Opened to say "Here's where you've been."
Your lips open to say
"My darling, it's been so very long and I'm in pain."
I know I'll never feel you
I know I'll never get so close to you that I can't smell anything else
I know that it is raining
And I know that the rain will soak you through and leave you like the tattered sky
I know I go in circles
I know that window panes bring only rain and not your face
My love I've pictured this: your violet eyelids
Opened to say "Here's where you've been."
Sometimes I picture all your fingers
Sometimes they're crawling down my spine
Sometimes they're buttoning your jacket
Sometimes you're far but you're still mine
Sometimes I picture all your fingers
Sometimes they're crawling down my spine
Sometimes they're buttoning your jacket
Sometimes you're far but you're still mine
I know I go in circles
I know that window panes bring only rain and not your face
I know I'll never run into your body walking through the crooked streets
I know I'll never hear you
I know I'll never hear you like a sound that wafts inside from outside there
I know that if I waited
I know that if I wait a thousand days will lie wasted with thoughts of you
Opened to say "Here's where you've been."
Your lips open to say
"My darling, it's been so very long and I'm in pain."
I know I'll never get so close to you that I can't smell anything else
I know that it is raining
And I know that the rain will soak you through and leave you like the tattered sky
I know I go in circles
I know that window panes bring only rain and not your face
Opened to say "Here's where you've been."
Sometimes I picture all your fingers
Sometimes they're crawling down my spine
Sometimes they're buttoning your jacket
Sometimes you're far but you're still mine
Sometimes they're crawling down my spine
Sometimes they're buttoning your jacket
Sometimes you're far but you're still mine
I know that window panes bring only rain and not your face

the windowpanes around here don't even bring any rain.
i love this song. i love almost all of trespassers william's songs. maybe its my love for the melancholic. This song just hits the spot. i still like Lie in the Sound better tho
ugh I just love this but it's so sad and true. It's pretty self explanatory, but it applies to my life a lot right now having an extremely hard time letting go of someone and just imagining I will see them again, knowing I won't. "sometimes i picture all your fingers sometimes they're crawling down my spine"...that line gives me chills
