What I didn't know back then

Was that I might be crying


It's such a simple sentiment


To steal the show

And what I didn't know back then


Is that I might be losing you


And still I wouldn't know



And now I suck up to the pale moonlight

Like it's gonna lead me home


And I shiver in my tired clothes


As if that could keep me warm

And now I stare across the dirty river


And I breathe this dirty air


And I'm sure upon the bridge I'll see you

'Cos I dreamt I'd kiss you up there



What didn't I know back then


Is how great the sin


How time goes so slowly

When you're cheating on a friend


And what I didn't know back then


Is that I might be needing you



Yeah, I might be needing you

The need it doesn't end


And now I stare across the dirty river


And I breathe this dirty air

And I'm sure upon the bridge I'll see you


'Cos I dreamt I'd kiss you there



What I didn't know back then


Was that I might be crying

It's such a simple sentiment


To steal the show
