[Verse 1]
Check mirror, seat belts are on
And we're drivin' through the mountains
Blue dress, only you could look this at home in a car that was rented
We talked of memories made on the beach where you were a child
For every word that you said, oh, my favorite was your silence
[Pre-Chorus]
Money spent in Malibu
'Cause that's just what you're supposed to do, and
Holdin' hands, goin' numb, I let it
I think we just missed the exit
[Chorus]
Feels like you knew me, before I knew myself
Head underwater, with things I couldn't help
How would you write? How would you say?
Sun will set on perfect days, but
Some things you just know
I told you so
[Verse 2]
Bonfire, I was the outsider to kings of Pasadena
And you said, "Get out of your head, oh, they're all so stoked to meet you"
I smoked with Charlie and watched as the whole world lit up for you
You swear that they're not in love with you, of course, they are
Part of me is terrified, all of me knows why
[Chorus]
Feels like you knew me, before I knew myself
Head underwater, with things I couldn't help
How would you write? How would you say?
Sun will set on perfect days, but
I know on every road you go
'Cause I told you so
I told you so

It’s such a beautiful thing to learn about the life someone you love had before you. This is a song about the beauty of that experience and what it’s like to fall even more in love once you know someone’s story!!
