  • I knew you through the daze of the blades of the grass in summer
    Parachutes for the free fall of being younger
    I memorized sound of your bare footsteps
    Running wild, it's been a long time
    Life has ways of leaving those days behind
    But seeing you tonight

    I remembered I loved you
    Came back when it mattered, I saw you
    Standing there in the light of the window
    Wearing that same smile
    Man, it's been a while
    I knew it, I knew you

    I knew it, I knew you

    I knew you, all your blues like a mood ring changing colors
    You did too, there were times we could fight like brothers
    I watched you drive around the bend for
    What I thought would be the last time I saw my friend
    But love has ways of bringing things back to life
    All you said was, "Hi"

    I remembered I loved you
    Came back when it mattered, I saw you
    Standing there in the light of the window
    Wearing that same smile
    Man, it's been a while
    But I knew it, I knew you
    Ahh-ah-ah

    I knew it, I knew you
    I, I, I, I
    'Cause I knew you, I knew you (I, I, I, I)
    (I, I, I, I) I, I, I, I

    Oh, the rivers I cried when we said goodbye
    Wondering if I'd made it up in my mind
    But now you look me in the eye

    And you told me I loved you
    Came back when it mattered, I saw you
    Standing there in the light of the window
    Wearing that same smile
    Man, it's been a while

    You were wearing that same smile
    Man, it's been a while
    Wearing that same smile
    Yeah, it's been a while
    I knew it, I knew you

    I knew it, I knew you

    I knew it, I knew you
    I knew you
    I knew it Writer/s: Jack Antonoff, Taylor Swift
