I wish I had known

I've been picking up pennies from the pavement Wishing I could spend these thoughts Because it's time to Some things refuse to shine no matter how many times you love them I've been folding the corners of our pages That I think are worth mentioning Though I don't have to Some things just don't make sense no matter how many times you write them I wish I had known I wish I had known I've been talking to street signs asking them why I don't know you anymore Though I wouldn't want to Some roads just are dead ends no matter how many times you drive them I wish I had known I wish I had known I wish I had known I wish I had known (Had known, had known, had known, oh no) Sometimes I wish I didn't feel so deeply Sometimes I wish I could wrap up things more neatly Sometimes I wish I had an answer that would grant me peace (Peace you took from us) You never knew you never made it easy Until the break came, and all the cracks were showing And then I wish I had an answer that would grant me peace (Peace you took from us) I wish, I wish I wish I had known I wish I had known I wish I had known I've been picking up pennies from the pavement I don't know you anymore
