I Thought I Knew (ver. Acoustic)
The Avett Brothers
verse 1 It was the last day of the year It was coming down in sheets I was sitting on the street Soaked through from the sleet I’d had too much to drink I called you up and drew you in I thought I knew but I was wrong verse 2 You came to my town I showed you around But everywhere we went reminded me of her I’d been lying to myself again I called you up and drew you in I thought I knew but I was wrong verse 3 And I took to the sky with that knowing sinking feeling I’d only just arrived but I foresaw the end So I lay on the couch helpless to my blunder You turned off the lights upon me And went upstairs alone You knew that I was gone You knew I was gone
