Lyrics I Knew You Once - Young English

I Knew You Once

Our creaking bones,
Just go to show,
How old we’ve become.
Young love is for brittle hearts,
The tattered lungs, all wide eyed
And wounded arms.
Oh I knew you once.
For a night we shared skin and wore out our lungs.
Under street lights you were something to believe in.
Blurry eyed, but fuck it, I was living.
I’m weary on your mind.
You’re a sore sight, for these young eyes.
I took whats mine.
Left you behind, when I lost all the fight.
Oh I knew you once.
For a night we shared skin and wore out our lungs.
Under bar light you were something to believe in.
Blurry eyed, but fuck it, we’re still breathing.
I found a new way, of making the same mistakes.
I went to the metal bar.
I was searching for a feeling.
Crawled through shit dives,
I did it for the healing.
You were a blur when I met the streets again,
Lost and lonely and begging, for something to believe in.
Oh I knew you once.
For a night we shared skin and wore out our lungs.
Under street lights you were something to believe in.
Blurry eyed, but fuck it, I’m still breathing.
I found a new way, of making the same mistakes.
I found a new way, of making the same mistakes.
