Some Things I Know
Timeless Truths: Love, Life, and Dreams in 'Some Things I Know'
Lyrics
There's some things I know to be true
Expressing certainty about certain truths or facts in life
Snow is white and the ocean is blue
Stating simple, universally accepted truths - snow is white, ocean is blue
Rain is wet when it falls from the sky
Describing the nature of rain - it's wet when falling from the sky
And the stars come out every night
Confirming the regular appearance of stars every night
And just as sure as the sun will rise
Assuring the certainty of love reflected in the speaker's eyes
The love is real you see in my eyes
Metaphorical expression of the certainty of love
Plant a seed and it will grow
Metaphorically relating the growth of love to planting a seed
Some things I know
Reiterating certainty in certain aspects of life
There's some things in life I need
Listing essential things necessary for survival
Water to drink, air to breathe
Basic necessities: water, air, rest
A place to rest when I need sleep
Requiring basic necessities like sleep and food
When I'm hungry, food to eat
Expressing reliance on spiritual beliefs or faith
As sure as I need the Lord above
Comparing the need for love to the need for spiritual guidance
That's how much I need your love
Desire for protection or safety from harsh conditions
I need shelter from the cold
Reiterating certainty about certain truths
Some things I know
Listing desires or aspirations in life
There's some things in life I want
Expressing desires beyond basic needs
A house with a porch, trees out front
Specifically desiring a home and companionship
Someone to talk with, someone to hold
Expressing a need for emotional connection and companionship
And walk with as we grow old
Desire to share life and grow old with someone
And I want all my dreams to come true
Expressing dreams and desires for the future
And I want them all with you
Desiring to fulfill dreams with a specific person
And I just had to tell you so
Expressing the need to communicate these feelings
Some things I know
Reiterating certainty about certain truths
There's some things I know to be true
Concluding with a reaffirmation of certain truths in life
