  • Well, I met you at the blood bank
    We were looking at the bags
    Wondering if any of the colors
    Matched any of the names we knew on the tags

    You said "see lookit, that's yours
    Stacked on top with your brother's
    See how they resemble one another
    Even in their plastic little covers"

    And I said I know it well

    That secret that you knew
    But don't know how to tell
    It fucks with your honor
    And it teases your head
    But you know that it's good, girl
    'Cause its running you with red

    Then the snow started falling
    We were stuck out in your car
    You were rubbing both of my hands
    Chewing on a candy bar

    You said "ain't this just like the present
    To be showing up like this"
    As a moon waned to crescent
    We started to kiss

    And I said I know it well

    That secret that we know
    That we don't know how to tell
    I'm in love with your honor
    I'm in love with your cheeks
    What's that noise up the stairs babe?
    Is that Christmas morning creaks?

    And I said I know it well
    And I know it well
    And I know it well
    And I know it well
    And I know it well
    And I know it well
    And I know it well
    And I know it well Writer/s: Justin Deyarmond Edison Vernon
