I Knew I'd Find You
Discovering Love's Beacon: I Knew I'd Find You
Lyrics
I wrote you a letter
I expressed my thoughts in a letter to you.
To let go of all the things I thought I know
I aimed to release my preconceived notions.
You think that I'd know better
You might expect me to have better understanding.
But I've been told to put it down on the paper
Guided to put my feelings on paper.
I knew I'd find you
Confident that I would eventually locate you.
It was a matter of time
A certainty, just a matter of time.
A matter of time
Reiterating the temporal aspect of finding you.
I knew I'd find you before too long
Anticipated finding you sooner rather than later.
I knew I'd find you
A repeated assurance of finding you.
Under neon lights
Imagery of finding you beneath neon lights.
And the rolling waves
Alluding to dynamic and changing circumstances.
I knew I'd find you
Continuation of the expectation of finding you.
Before too long
Emphasizing the timely discovery of you.
And I did
A declaration that the anticipated discovery occurred.
I pulled down the shutters
Action of closing off external influences.
And turned the TV off
Turning off a source of distraction (TV).
As it flickers and stutters
Describing the flickering and unsettling TV.
With news men and horrors
Mentions news-related distressing content.
I've been walking the black dog
Reference to struggling with depression ("black dog").
But he's the needy one
Characterizing the "black dog" as needy.
And he's wasting my time
The "black dog" consumes valuable time.
I knew I'd find you
Reiteration of the confidence in finding you.
It was a matter of time
Stating the inevitability of finding you.
A matter of time
Highlighting the temporal aspect again.
I knew I'd find you before too long
Reaffirming the expectation of finding you.
I knew I'd find you
Restating the certainty of finding you.
Under neon lights
Repeating the imagery of finding you under neon lights.
And the rolling waves
Referencing the dynamic and rolling waves metaphor.
I knew I'd find you before too long
Reiterating the expectation of finding you in due time.
And I know what you fear losing
Awareness of what you fear losing.
By the photographs you take
Connecting fear to captured moments in photographs.
And the fear that keeps me going
The fear that propels and sustains.
Is the same that will tear me apart
A shared fear that has potential to cause separation.
I knew I'd find you
Repetition of the certainty in finding you.
It was a matter of time
Emphasizing the temporal aspect once again.
A matter of time
Reaffirming the expectation of timely discovery.
I knew I'd find you before too long
Anticipated finding you before an extended duration.
I knew I'd find you
Reiteration of the confidence in finding you.
Under neon lights
Repeated imagery of finding you under neon lights.
And the rolling waves
Repeating the dynamic and rolling waves metaphor.
I knew I'd find you
Reiterating the expectation of finding you.
Before too long
Anticipated finding you before a prolonged time.
And I did
Confirmation that the anticipated discovery occurred.
