I Thought I Knew You Well

by Aisha Burns

on Argonauta (2018)

It's an old game, runnin' circles round my old pain
And for no one's gain, that's true
Love's a long shot. I chase him round, then I watch him walk
Now there's not a lot I can say to you

But it's all I know
Light up my dark for show
And down she goes, I see it too

I thought I knew you well
Oh I thought I knew you well
Well, well, well...

Take my blank hand, stretch it out as far as I can
And a lonely man will see it through
Comb my dark days, raise old love up from the grave
Wonder why I can't seem to stay feelin brand new

But it's all I know
Light up my dark for show
Cringe at the bite, but oh, I like it too

I thought I knew you well
I thought I knew you well
I thought I knew
You
