What I Know Now
Discovering Wisdom: What I've Learned Now
Lyrics
For the record I had given up
Expressing a sense of surrender or resignation in the past.
Decided I'm not good enough
Acknowledging self-doubt or a lack of confidence.
I wish that I knew better
Regretting a lack of knowledge or understanding in the past.
I wish I knew what I know now
Expressing a desire for knowledge or insight that is currently possessed.
For the record I had told my truth
Reiterating a past communication of personal truths.
And it didn't look quite right on you
Noticing a discrepancy in how the truth was received by someone else.
I don't think you believed in me
Suggesting a lack of belief or support from the other person.
Cause I could not believe in you
Reciprocal disbelief, highlighting a mutual breakdown in trust.
In the time it takes to learn what makes us feel different
Emphasizing the time needed to understand differences that affect emotions.
You could find some space and make some room I could wiggle in
Proposing the idea of creating space for mutual understanding and acceptance.
For the record I was set in stone
Indicating a state of emotional rigidity or inflexibility.
There's no one knocking down my door
Asserting independence or lack of external influence.
There's no one checking in on me
Feeling isolated or overlooked by others.
There's no one checking out at all
Expressing a sense of being unnoticed or unattended to.
In the time it takes to learn what makes us feel different
Repeating the importance of understanding differences for emotional connection.
I could find a space and make some room you could wiggle in
Reciprocal invitation to create space for mutual understanding and connection.
For the record I had given up
Reiterating a past sense of surrender or resignation.
Decided I'm not good enough
Acknowledging self-doubt or a lack of confidence again.
I wish that I knew better
Regretting a lack of knowledge or understanding once more.
I wish I knew what I know now
Expressing a desire for knowledge or insight once more.
