30 Day Song Challenge - #08 A song you know all the words to

I Know - Fiona Apple, live at the Largo.

I've always been very bad at memorising lyrics. I can listen to a song a gazillion times but still only come out of it being able to sing two or three lines.

So I've always been very pleased with myself for being able to sing this song without having to look it up on the internet, especially since there are no repeated verses or choruses in this song. Every line is unique.

Also, this song is great to listen to when you're hopelessly pining for a person who is unattainable and into someone else. Still content to wait and be the doormat for that person? Then this song if for you. Good song to cry to as well.


So be it, I'm your crowbar
If that's what I am so far
Until you get out of this mess
And I will pretend
That I don't know of your sins
Until you are ready to confess
But all the time, all the time
I'll know, I'll know

And you can use my skin
To bury secrets in
And I will settle you down
And at my own suggestion,
I will ask no questions
While I do my thing in the background
But all the time, all the time
I'll know, I'll know

Baby-I can't help you out, while she's still around
So for the time being, I'll be patient
And amidst this bitterness
If you'll just consider this-even if it don't make sense
All the time-give it time

And when the crowd becomes your burden
And you've early closed your curtains,
I'll wait by the backstage door
While you try to find the lines to speak your mind
And pry it open, hoping for an encore
And if it gets too late, for me to wait
For you to find you love me, and tell me so
It's ok, don't need to say it.
