Lyrics

You're unknown to me

You are unfamiliar or a stranger to me.

Your smile your touch

Your smile and touch are aspects of you.

You're a mystery to me

You are a puzzle or enigma in my understanding.

I don't know much

I lack knowledge about you; there is much I don't know.

You're not far away

You are not physically distant; perhaps you are near.

From witnessing day

You are close to experiencing daylight or truth.

You're unknown to me

Reiteration of the notion that you remain unknown.


You're unknown to me

Emphasizing the lack of familiarity with you.

Your size those eyes

Your physical attributes, like size and eyes, are mysterious.

You're a secret to me

You are a hidden or undisclosed aspect to the speaker.

Each look with surprise

Each gaze from you brings surprise or wonder.

I don't know your name

The speaker doesn't know your name, adding to the mystery.

Or words that you say

Your spoken words remain unknown to the speaker.

You're unknown to me

Reiteration of the theme that you are unknown.


I know that you know that

A realization that things will never be the same.

Things will never be the same

Continuation of the acknowledgment of change.

And I know that

A statement of awareness that you, the subject, accept this change.

You wouldn't have it

Asserting that you prefer the current situation and wouldn't want it otherwise.

Any other way

You have a specific preference or attitude toward the situation.


You're unknown to me

Restating the idea that you are unknown to the speaker.

Your voice, each tone

Your voice, including its various tones, is part of the mystery.

I know where to find

The speaker knows where to find your love and your home.

Your love, your home

Emphasizing a partial knowledge of your existence.

I don't know your face

The speaker doesn't recognize your face, adding to the unknown aspects.

Or small embrace but

The speaker is unfamiliar with your physical gestures or small embraces.

You're welcome here with me

An expression of acceptance and welcome despite the unknown aspects.
