Know Now Then

It's not so much that we got closer It's that her face just got bigger And by the time it was taking up my whole view I figured my face had got bigger too So I used it to try and sway 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 know now then Yeah, I didn't know what I know now then But I didn't know what I know now then But I didn't know what I know now then --- Know Now Then - Ani DiFranco
