You knew before
What would happen
You knew before
That you've outlined it
When I still wasn't anyone
When you didn't know about love
You knew before
That you've created my heart
Amidst all these people
That their affection is gold to me
You knew before
That being your blood is everything
Protect me in your arms
And play with the white collar
Of the shirt I'm wearing
Quickly and as a single gesture
Like when I was a little girl
And your attention was my life
Doing what I shouldn't
In case it occurred to you
To look
You knew before
That I'd take risks and suffer
That I wouldn't be given anything
In this life that you see back
Fearless and unrestrained
Looking for the moments that count
You found them before
And now we're the same
You knew before
That my dreams would be real
Protect me in your arms
And play with the white collar
Of the shirt I'm wearing
Quickly and as a single gesture
Like when I was a little girl
And your attention was my life
Doing what I shouldn't
In case it occurred to you
To look
To look
And we still have years to keep counting
Just around the corner
Many will follow
Because we did the right thing
Yes, we did it together
And even though sometimes it was hard
I don't run away from fear
Protect me in your arms
Capture my laugh in your hands
And give me that advice
That will make your reflection out of me
Like when I was a little girl
And I'd sleep in your bed
Waiting for the stories
That you'd tell me at night
To come
Like when I was a little girl
Your attention was my life
I'd get myself singing
In case it occurred to you
To look
To look
To look
To look
You knew before
When you heard my first scream
You knew before
That you've conceived me
