You'd Think I'd Know
Finding Clarity Amid Life's Uncertainties
Lyrics
From the center of this hurricane
The speaker feels caught in a chaotic situation.
Whether flying air or driving rain
Despite challenges, whether by air or rain, their focus remains on reuniting with someone.
All I care about is seeing you again
The speaker's main concern is seeing the person again.
Told my mamma life was so unfair
The speaker expressed to their mother that life seemed unfair.
She said Listen, son, we've all been there
The mother empathizes, implying that experiencing hardship is universal.
As I turned around and climbed aboard the plane
Boarding a plane, departing from the mother and the difficulties faced.
You'd think I'd know, I'd know by now
The speaker reflects on their lack of understanding despite experience.
Exactly where I stand
They're unsure of their position or status in a situation.
Where every word I thought I'd carved in stone
Words they believed were firm or definitive turn out to be uncertain.
Were lines drawn in the sand
What they thought was solid truth turns out to be changeable.
Now I think of all the time gone by
Recalling past times and emotions.
Memories welling up behind my eyes
Remembering nostalgic moments with emotions surfacing.
Of every beautiful occasion in our lives
Treasuring every beautiful memory shared.
Think I'd know, I'd know by now
Continuing uncertainty about their position or status.
Exactly where I stand
Still unsure where they stand in a situation.
Where every word I thought was carved in stone
Realization that even strong beliefs may not hold true.
Were lines drawn in the sand?
Questioning if what they believed to be certain was merely temporary.
Think I'd know, woah by now
Reiterating uncertainty despite the passage of time.
Exactly where I stand
Continued confusion about their position or understanding.
Where every word I thought was carved in stone
Reiteration that previously held beliefs may not be solid.
Were lines drawn in the sand?
Questioning if what they thought was firm is actually changeable.
So I tell myself it's just for now
Trying to reassure themselves that the current situation is temporary.
In the future things will change somehow
Hopeful that the future will bring change and clarity.
I'm still waiting for that moment to arrive
Still waiting for a transformative moment to happen.
I'm still waiting for that moment to arrive
Emphasizing the anticipation for a significant change or realization.
I'm still waiting for that moment to arrive
Repetition of the waiting, indicating the strong desire for change or clarity.
