how would i know

i was sure

that you were what i'd waited for

you were the ultimate goal

i wouldn't be hungry anymore

had a toast

with everyone to recognize

just how far i had come

that's why it's such a surprise

i wake up restless in the night

can't fall back asleep

something isn't right

and then it hits

how would i know if this was it?

how would i know for sure

what's been for sure in my world?

caught a show

down at the rockwood last night

came away humming a tune

sat down at home

began to write

and like a habit

i never was able to kick

you put me in a trance

everything suddenly clicked

i'm with you for better or for worse

don't know if you're a gift

or if you're a curse

after all

how would i know if this was it?

how would i know for sure?

what's been for sure in my world?

now i could be wrong

that could have been all

that could've been all there'll be

but if i don't play along

it won't ever be clear to me

no it won't ever be clear to me

how would i know if this was it

how would i know for sure

how would i know if this was it

how would i know for sure

how would i know if this was it

how would i know for sure

what's been for sure

i know

i know

i know

i know
