You Know - Laura Marling

Damn all those people who don’t lose control

Who will never take a foot out of life

You might not think that I care—but you don’t know what I know

And damn all those hippies who stomp empty-footed

Upon all what’s good, or what’s pure in the world

You might not think that I care—but you don’t know what I know

And bless all those mothers who do all they can

Just to take their faults out of the line

I might not know what it’s like—but I’m glad that you know

Give me a minute there—just a minute now

It’ll come back to me

I was so sure, but you, free-wheelin' troubadour

You took my mind off the scene

And you know what I know, and I know that I know that you know

You asked me blind once

If I was a child once

And I said I’m really not sure

How can you know

How can you know

What it is you don’t know

We were a pair once of such despair, oh

We were a child then, I’m sure

If we were a child then

We are children no more

Give me a minute there—just a minute now

It’ll come back to me

I was so sure, but you, free-wheeling troubadour

You took my mind off the scene

And you know and I know and I know

I know that you know

You know, you know, you know, and I know that you know
