I know. (a song)

I know

sometimes

I know

sometimes

The walls around the person that I long to be

I build them high, so high I can not see

I can't see you

and worse,

I can't see me

I know

I know sometimes

I say things that I don't even recognize

as coming from these lips

that pressed to yours

turn up and smile with joy.

Sometimes

I know

I fall into a place I don't recognize

far from the rosy-colored world that is mine

if only I could stop dragons from

blowing fire on my secret garden.

I know

sometimes

I know.
