If You Knew Lyrics

Lyric discussion by tmano1 

Cover art for If You Knew lyrics by Jeff Buckley

I think the line in the last stanza that is written here as "and no one else besides me" is actually "i know what air betides me"

what do you think?

My Interpretation

I think you're onto something, but after listening to it several times, I think it's actually: "I know what e'er betides me" (e'er meaning "ever")
