If I Knew Then
Love Lost in Hindsight: If I Knew Then
Lyrics
Poor boy draggin low
Poor boy feeling down or dejected
Poor boy hears his tale of woe
The poor boy listens to a story of his misery
Woah if I knew then what I know now
Expressing regret about not knowing something earlier
If i knew then you'd be here now
Expressing regret about not knowing that someone would be present at this time
I tried the world and its gold
Tried experiencing the wealth and opportunities the world offers
Tho have and to hold
To have and to hold, indicating possession or marriage vows
The one thing in life i love
The singular thing in life the speaker loves
If i knew then
Expressing regret about not knowing something earlier
What i know now
Realizing something presently that was not known in the past
We would never have drifted apart
If the speaker had known something earlier, they wouldn't have grown apart
If I had only taken your dreams and made them part of mine
Regretting not incorporating the partner's dreams into their own
If in knew then what I know now
Expressing regret about not knowing something earlier
If i knew then
-Hey jack the chick cut out
Referring to someone named Jack who removed himself from a situation
I don't know her whereabouts
Unaware of her current location
Don't think I miss her jack I played no water back
The speaker doesn't miss her and didn't try to stop her from leaving
Trade the world and all its loot, treasures there to boot
Would trade everything for treasures and riches
Well the one thing in life I lost
Something precious that the speaker lost in life
If I knew then what I know now
Realizing something presently that was not known in the past
We would never have drifted apart
If the speaker had known something earlier, they wouldn't have grown apart
If I had only taken your dreams and made them part of mine
Regretting not incorporating the partner's dreams into their own
If I knew then what I know now
Expressing regret about not knowing something earlier
Heart broken no joking
Heartbroken, not joking or pretending
If I knew then what I know now
Expressing regret about not knowing something earlier
Hey baby, you'd be here now.
If the speaker had known something earlier, the person they're addressing would be present now
