My grandfather has dementia and is being taken care of by his wife of 64 years, Mamma Jimmie (Victoria’s grandmother). Some day, he won’t know the magnitude of her love for him or any of their years of memories and family. The song is an ode to her love for him.

[Verse 1]
He glows, it's just his nature
Lights up the darkest days
Grabs ahold of his beliefs
He is grown
And it's rare you come across
A brighter light on your horizon
He's my need to breathe
Fixes up my wings
[Pre-Chorus]
Little does he know
Just how much I stutter
Every time we see each other
I fall on meager knees
[Chorus]
He won't know
That his words fill the space
Mould the ground beneath my feet
He won't know
When it's cold in the night
He's the coat that I need
I would give him my soul
Oh, he won't know
[Verse 2]
I keep telling myself that maybe
Distance makes things complicated
Trying to deceive
This stubborn heart upon my sleeve
[Pre-Chorus]
Little does he know
I would walk on water
If he's ever hollow
I would grow to meet his needs
[Chorus]
He won't know
That his words fill the space
Mould the ground beneath my feet
He won't know
When it's cold in the night
He's the coat that I need
I would give him my soul
Oh, he won't know
[Bridge]
I feel your heart beating
Well my heart is bleeding out
I feel your heart beating
Well my heart is bleeding out
I feel your heart beating
Well my heart is bleeding out
I feel your heart beating
[Chorus]
He won't know
That his words fill the space
Mould the ground beneath my feet
He won't know
When it's cold in the night
He's the coat that I need
I would give him my soul
Oh, he won't know
[Chorus]
He won't know
That his words fill the space
Mould the ground beneath my feet
He won't know
When it's cold in the night
He's the coat that I need
I would give him my soul
Oh, he won't know
