I Know Lyrics

Cold hands, white light
Yellow lamps on blackened skies
Duffel hoods and deep brown eyes
I sing you a song that I think you'll like

And we'll walk to places we always go
A million faces I don't know
I say the words you'd always hope
Set our hearts on racing even though...

[Chorus:]
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
And I know I can't keep calling
Every time I run (yeah)
I keep on falling on you
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
And I know I can't keep calling
Just every time I run (yeah)
I keep on falling on you


Oh the way you stand, on the way you sway
The way your hair curls in the rain
The little lines around your face
Or winter nights you'd come and stay

Or the way you hit me when you wanna fight
The way I yearn, the way I cry
The way our love rose with the tides
But we know we'll make up every time

[Chorus:]
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
And I know I can't keep calling
Every time I run (yeah)
I keep on falling on you
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
And I know I can't keep calling
Just every time I run (yeah)
I keep on falling on you

[Bridge:]
Oh you bring me all the things I need
I follow the rain to the roaring sea
Oh you bring me all the things I need

[Chorus:]
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
And I know I can't keep calling
Just every time I run
I keep on falling
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
And I know I can't keep calling
Just every time I run
I keep on falling

And I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
And I know I can't keep calling
Every time I run, yeah
I keep on falling

I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
And I know I can't keep calling
Just every time I run, yeah
I keep on falling on you

There are some mistakes in these lyrics:

On the way I stand On the way I sway The way your hair coats in the rain The little lines that write on your face On the winter nights, you come and stay Oh the way you hit me when you wanna fight The way I yawn, the way I cry The way I love rose with the ties But we know it won't make up every time

Should be:

On the way you stand, on the way you sway The way your hair curls in the rain The little lines write your face So do winter nights you'd come and stay

Or the way you hit me when you wanna fight The way i yearn, the way i cry The way i love rose with the tides But we know we'll make up every time

in my opinion this song is about the end of a relationship. the person is in denial and it is hard for him to admit that its over. "i know what you told me i know that its all over" maybe she told him that she cheated on him or maybe she just doesn't feel the way they should feel in a loving relationship. he probably wishes he never heard her say those things, he wishes things could stay the same.
