I Know

Walk with you at four in the morning
Hot breath hits the cold air
Chin tucked down into my collar
I smell the feeling everywhere
I can see the mist in the streetlight
I hear your leather jacket squeak
As you put your arms around me
And softly start to speak

When I go with you to places
I have a lot to say
Words come naturally to me
You seem to want to stay
And I know that, that I know
And I know that, that I know

I watch the people with their attitudes
And I know I won’t get along
Know if I hold on to you, babe
How could I go wrong
We sit on the curb and talk about things
Nothing special, just things
But a good time, a great time. A play time
A smile on my face is all you bring

When I go with you to places
I have a lot to say
Words come naturally to me
You seem to want to stay
And I know that, that I know

Stop to smell the flowers with you
Don’t have to count the hours with you
Wish the sun wouldn’t rise
And put an end to this night

When I go with you to places
I have a lot to say
Words come naturally to me
You seem to want to stay
And I know that, that I know
And I know that, that I know
