I thought I had it long ago
I held on but It let go
It kissed me on a subway train

And I meant it

It got my hand

It brushed my cheek
It moved right in It got me deep
You know it even had a name

I really felt it

I didn't know love

Not even close
This is more beautiful and frightening
That I've ever known

It's making me weak
Making me strong
It's making me afraid I'm gonna wake up

And find it gone
I didn't know love


It's a blessing
It's a curse
You know you've found it when it hurts

It can drive you off a cliff
But it's worth it
Careful way to spend the night

It's complicated when it's right
You can make me such a mess
Yeah you're perfect


Cause I didn't know love
Chorus

I didn't know love
Not even close
This is more beautiful and frightening

That I've ever known
It's making me weak
Making me strong

It's making me afraid I'm gonna wake up
And find YOU gone


No I didn't know love

Now you're lying in my arms beside me

In the past I'd settle for a touch
I'd tell myself it was enough
I was lying lying lying


Cause I didn't know love


I didn't know love
Not even close
This is more beautiful and frightening

That I've ever known
It's making me weak
Making me strong

It's making me afraid I'm gonna wake up
And find YOU gone
I didn't know love
