Know Now Then - Ani DiFranco

it’s not so much that we got closer

it’s that her face just go tbigger

and by the time it was filling up my whole view

i figured my face had got bigger too

so i used it ot try and way her

say something to her

make my case

but my face

never had a chance

all along it was the wrong song and dance

i just stood there

without even a stance

helpless to her advance

and her retreat

backspace, delete

it wasn’t so much that we fell in love as my life just seemed to come down

to a slow walk on a straight line

between her smile and her frown

and maybe we never were as close

as we should have been

but i didn’t know what i now now, then

yeah, i didn’t know what i know now, then
