[Bon Iver cover]
[Verse 1]
Well, I met you at the blood bank
You were looking at the bags
Wondering if any of the colors
Matched any of the names we knew on the tags
You said "Hey look-it, that's yours
Stacked on top with your brother's
See how they resemble one another
Even in these plastic little blue covers?"
[Chorus]
And I said "Oh, I know it well
That secret that you know
You don't know how to tell
It fucks with your honor
And it teases your head
But you know that it's good, girl
'Cause it's running you with red"
[Verse 3]
Now the snow started falling
We were stuck out in your car
You were rubbing both of my hands
Chewing on a candy bar
You said, "Ain't this just like the present
To be showing up like this?"
As the moon started to crescent
We started to kiss
[Chorus]
And I said "Oh, I know it well
That secret that you know
That you don't know how to tell
I'm in love with your honor
I'm in love with your cheeks
What's that noise up the stairs, babe?
Is this Christmas morning?"
[Outro]
And I said "Oh, I know it well" x4
