I Know (You Used to Know)
Lyrics From the LP "The War of the Sons of Light Against the Sons of Darkness", 2017


So please don't walk away
Just walk away
I don't know what I'm saying ...
"I know, I know", you said.
"I know, I know", you said.

Just 'cause I'm here today
Just like I was yesterday
No, that don't mean I'm here to stay
"I know, I know", you said.
Well, "I know, I know", you said.



Well what are we doin' standin'
with all the world around us?
And all the things I said
wrapped up inside your mind?
Don't wanna' be around ya',
but I'm so glad I found ya' ...
I know
I know you knew it.
I know you used to know.
Yeah, you used to know.




So what I'm tryin' to tell ya'
Is I just can't talk to you ...
I just can't reason with ya'
"I know, I know" you said.
Well, "I know, I know", you said.

And you stood me up this week
Just like you did last week
And I don't know what you're keeping
"I know, I know", you said.
Well, "I know, I know", you know it.



Well what are we doin' standin'
with all the world around us?
And all the things you said
wrapped up inside my mind?
Don't wanna' be around ya',
but I'm so glad I found ya' ...
I know
I know you knew it.
I know you used to know.
Yeah, you used to know.



No:
Don't wanna' tell MacDougal
What it is I wanna' tell ya'.
Don't wanna' stand around
or have an evenin' with you, neither.
It's always only just a
minute from you steppin' baby.
And every step we take is
just another hesitation.
And I know you used to know.



So please don't run away
while I run away.
There's just no stayin' with ya'.
"I know, I know", you said.
Well, "I know, I know", you know it.



Well what are we doin' standin'
with all the world around us?
And all the things we said
wrapped up inside their minds?
Don't wanna' be around ya',
but I'm so glad I found ya' ...
I know
I know you knew it.
I know you used to know.
Yeah, you used to know.

Don't wanna' tell MacDougal
What it is I wanna' tell ya'.
Don't wanna' stand around
or have an evenin' with you, neither.
It's always only just a
minute from you steppin' baby.
And every step we take is
just another hesitation.
And I know you used to know.
I know you used to know.
Well I know you used to know.
Yes I know you used to know.
Hey I know, I know, I know.
