If I Didn't Know Any Better Lyrics

I turned around
Before I could run I found you already settled down in the back of my mind
I know this is just a customary feelin'
The moon is our deceiver that will leave you running blind

Your heart is pullin'
If I didn't know any better
I'd be fallin'
Deeper and deeper it's true
I'd hear it callin'
If I didn't know any better
And I'd be in love with you

Didn't want to
Look in the eyes of the one that I would be drawn to
I'm a moth lost in a fire
And I know this is just a beautiful illusion, a case of the confusion, between love and desire

Your heart is pullin'
If I didn't know any better
I'd be fallin'
Deeper and deeper it's true
I'd hear it callin'
If I didn't know any better
And I'd be in love

When the flame burns out
And fine'ly settles down
And you'd forget I ever came around

Your heart is pullin'
If I didn't know any better
I'd be fallin'
Deeper and deeper it's true
I'd hear it callin'
If didn't know any better
And I'd be in love with you

I turned around
Before I could run I found you already settled down in the back of my mind

Simply Beautiful. This song is about knowing that someone is no good for you, but still getting that feeling everytime they look at you or speak your name. It's having complete disregard for the consequences of your desires...

To me, this song is about falling for for someone of which your relationship is purely physical, one that is built around human desire. Many people can relate to letting emotions overcome them when being physically intimate with someone. The song is about how one-sided that shift can be. One lover falls in love while the other never arrives at the same conclusion.

My Interpretation

I think this song is about a someone who did not intend to fall in love with someone else and it just happened. She were not looking for love it just happened.. Now she is afraid because love has left her empty before to fall deeper in love... She is confused and trying to tell herself it is not real but an illusion .. When clearly she is in love...It is a painful thing to be in love and not know if the other feels the same! She is terrified!
