Things We Don't Know About Lyrics
Sit upon my lap.
Are you ready for bed?
Wait just a second.
Let me clear my head.
I've got something to talk to you about
And I think it's going to be
One of those nights where we sit up and talk awhile and
Completely empty.
I've something on my chest.
I've gotta get it out.
I won't let your ceiling come breaking down
And I don't know how to tell you this,
But I, I think I'm falling in love,
Yeah, With you.
The things we don't know about,
The things we don't know about,
Well, they'll see.
So take my hand if you want to.
I promise I'll never leave.
I'll stand right by you.
I swear I won't betray you.
When I see you smile
It's like an innocent smile.
It's such a beautiful smile.
It's one of those smiles
That I only see in my dreams.
So, let's me and you,
Yeah, that's what we would talk about
The things we don't know about,
The things we don't know about,
Well, they'll see
In the way,
Yeah, even only for a moment.
The things we don't know about,
The things we don't know about.
Come stand by me
And I'll find out
What person I can be
And when we stand through it all,
Together, we stand tall.
The things we don't know about,
The things we don't know about,
They help us see.
They help us see.
The things we don't know about,
The things we don't know about,
They helped us see,
In the way,
Yeah, even only for a moment.
The things we don't know about,
The things we don't know about,
They helped us see,
In the way,
Yeah, even only for a moment.
The things we don't know about,
The things we don't know about.
Are you ready for bed?
Wait just a second.
Let me clear my head.
I've got something to talk to you about
And I think it's going to be
One of those nights where we sit up and talk awhile and
Completely empty.
I've something on my chest.
I've gotta get it out.
I won't let your ceiling come breaking down
And I don't know how to tell you this,
But I, I think I'm falling in love,
Yeah, With you.
The things we don't know about,
Well, they'll see.
I promise I'll never leave.

I swear I won't betray you.
When I see you smile
It's like an innocent smile.
It's such a beautiful smile.

The things we don't know about,
The things we don't know about.
And I'll find out

And when we stand through it all,
Together, we stand tall.
The things we don't know about,

They help us see.
The things we don't know about,

The things we don't know about,
The things we don't know about,
They helped us see,
In the way,
Yeah, even only for a moment.
The things we don't know about,
The things we don't know about.
Does anyone else feel like he's saying "through things we don't know about"?
To me this song tells the story of the beginning of a new family. The mother's new man is talking to the child, telling the child that he loves him/her like his own. Promising never to leave them, wanting to stay with them and be a family. To be the father they deserve. It's so heartfelt in my mind.
