Now I Know

[Verse 1]
I was nine years old
When I pulled your hair and broke your china doll
I had no clue
What those stomach butterflies would have me do

[Pre-Chorus]
Years gone by
Always wondering what I'm really looking for
Now here I am
Back knocking at your door

[Chorus]
Now I know
We were kids and you were living down the road
Playing hide and seek and fought with sticks and stones
Feels like yesterday, but was so long ago
Now I know
I didn't see it then, but now your colors show
Was too young and dumb, but guess we all can grow
And this time around I’ll never let you go
Now I know

[Verse 2]
Twelve years old
When I tried to kiss you heading home from school
Oh, I cried that day
When you told me that you had to move away

[Pre-Chorus]
Years went by
Hoping that someday I'd see your face
And here I am
Back at your place, hmm

[Chorus]
Now I know
We were kids and you were living down the road
Playing hide and seek and fought with sticks and stones
Feels like yesterday, but was so long ago
Now I know
I didn't see it then, but now your colors show
Was too young and dumb, but guess we all can grow
And this time around I’ll never let you go

[Bridge]
Now I see in your eyes
What's missing in me
The piece of the puzzle was always there in front of me
Now I know (Now I know)
Now I know (Now I know)
Now you hold my heart
And that feels like home
My peace and my shelter, it’s where I have always belonged
Now I know (Now I know)
Now I know (Now I know)

[Outro]
We were kids and you were living down the road
Didn't see it then but now your colors show
And this time around I’ll never let you go
