I Always Knew
Revelations of Unspoken Affections
Lyrics
Down, down in my bones
Expressing a deep, internal feeling, possibly instinctive or intuitive.
Somewhere I'd never have known
Discovering something in oneself that was previously unknown.
Right at the back of my head
Awareness of a thought or realization in the subconscious.
It hit me like a beam of light
An impactful revelation, likened to a sudden burst of illumination.
Hit me like a hook of the right
A metaphorical punch, a sudden realization or understanding.
And I could've fell to the floor
Potential emotional or physical collapse in response to the realization.
'Cause you talk to me and it comes off the walls
Communication that surrounds and envelops the speaker.
You talk to me and it goes over my head
Communication that surpasses the speaker's comprehension.
So let's go to bed before you say something real
Suggesting a desire to avoid deep, sincere conversations.
Let's go to bed before you say how you feel
Expressing the wish to avoid revealing true emotions prematurely.
'Cause it's you
Identifying a specific person as the subject of the lyrics.
Oh, it's always you
Repetition emphasizing the constant presence of this person.
Oh, I always knew
Claiming prior knowledge or anticipation of the current situation.
Oh, it's you
Reiterating the identity of the person central to the lyrics.
I try my best to unwind
Attempting to relax and clear the mind of distractions.
Nothing on my mind
An attempt to have an empty or carefree state of mind.
But you
The persistent presence of the mentioned person in thoughts.
Oblivious to all that I'll owe
Unaware or indifferent to what the future holds.
I'm hangin' on to what I don't know
Clutching onto uncertainties or mysteries in one's life.
So let's go to bed before you say something real
Repeating the desire to avoid genuine and heartfelt conversations.
Let's go to bed before you say how you feel
Reiterating the need to refrain from expressing true emotions.
'Cause it's you
Confirmation of the constant presence of the mentioned person.
Oh, it's always you
Reaffirmation of the recurring nature of this person's influence.
Oh, I always knew
Emphasizing the foresight or expectation of the situation.
Oh, it's you
Repeated identification of the person as the central figure.
Yeah, it's you
Acknowledging the persistent influence of the mentioned person.
Oh, it's always you
Reiteration of the enduring impact of this person.
Oh, I always knew
Consistent awareness or anticipation of the ongoing connection.
Oh, it's you
Confirmation of the person's continued significance.
Well, it's you
Repeating the assertion of the person's constant presence.
Oh, it's always you
Emphasizing the enduring nature of this person's impact.
Oh, I always knew
Reaffirmation of prior knowledge or anticipation of the situation.
Oh, it's you
Reiterating the persistent awareness of this person.
Oh, I knew
A declaration of prior knowledge or insight into the circumstances.
Oh, I always knew
Affirming a constant awareness or expectation of the situation.
Yes, I always knew
Confirmation of having always known about the enduring connection.
Oh, it's you
Final acknowledgment of the continuous presence and impact of the person.
