I Knew It, I Knew You - Taylor Swift (lyrics) I knew you Through the daze of the blades of the grass in summer Parachutes For the free fall of being younger I memorized the sound of your bare footsteps Running wild, it\u0027s been a long time Life has ways of leaving those days behind But seeing you tonight I remembered I loved you Came back when it mattered, I saw you Standing there in the light of the window Wearing that same smile Man, it\u0027s been a while But I knew it, I knew you I knew it, I knew you I knew you All your blues like a mood ring changing colors You did too There were times we could fight like brothers I watched you drive around the bend for What I thought would be the last time I saw my friend But love has ways of bringing things back to life All you said was, \u0022Hi\u0022 And I remembered I loved you Came back when it mattered, I saw you Standing there in the light of the window Wearing that same smile Man, it\u0027s been a while But I knew it, I knew you (I knew, I knew) I knew it, I knew you (I knew, I knew) I knew it, I knew you (I knew, I knew) Oh Oh, the rivers I cried when we said goodbye Wondering if I\u0027d made it up in my mind But now you look me in the eye And you told me I loved you Came back when it mattered, I saw you Standing there in the light of the window Wearing that same smile Yeah, it\u0027s been a while, oh Wearing that same smile Man, it\u0027s been a while (man, it\u0027s been a while) Wearing that same smile Man, it\u0027s been a while But I knew it, I knew you (ooh, I knew you, I knew) I knew it, I knew you (ooh, I knew you, I knew) Wearing that same smile (ooh, I) I knew it, I knew you (I knew) I knew it, I knew you (I knew, I knew) I knew it
