Lyrics
I know you too well

Doesn't take a lot to figure you out
It's easy for the speaker to comprehend the addressed person's character.
And I know you'll do it
The speaker anticipates a specific action from the addressed person.
If I let my guard down

Are you happy with the way I drag myself around everybody else now?
The speaker questions if the addressed person is content with how the speaker presents themselves to others.
Oh, I know you too well
Reiteration of the speaker's deep understanding of the addressed person.
And I know you do
Affirmation that the addressed person exhibits certain behaviors.
No better offer than what's on my table
No alternative option is perceived as superior to what the speaker currently has.
Wherever I go

Always, always, always

You'll catch up to me one of these days
-So take it easy now

So take it easy now
-You weren't kidding

The past is written
The speaker recognizes that the past is unchangeable and challenging to move past.
Can't seem to turn the page
A sense of being stuck and unable to move forward from a particular situation or memory.
Don't you love the way you're balancing on all the sharpest edges of my tongue
Appreciation for the way the addressed person navigates difficult conversations.
Oh I know you too well
Confirmation of the speaker's deep understanding of the addressed person.
And I know you do
