You Know Me
Air Traffic Controller Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know me
You know everything about me now
My heart is in your hands, and you know you could break it
But wouldn't you rather make me sing like this?

You know me
I try to find some good in everything
Since you came along, somehow this got easy
'cause all you wanna do is please me, my love

This could be a roller coaster
But we're gonna make the most of it
whether on top, or we're going down, you know me

You know me (I know you)
And how I get when I'm uncomfortable
If I'm too hot, or cold
tired, bored, or hungry
I'm fine when you're around me, boy

And you know me
I've never been on time for anything
I do apologize, I know it's such a bother
I promise to try harder for you, girl, oh I will

This is a risk worth taking
It's love in the making
we've got nothing up our sleeves
We got another stand-in
I don't think we could have planned it
Better I know, cause you know, you know me

You know me (you know me)
I work too much, I'm always on the run (honey I know it's only just begun)
You know how hard it can be (to go on chasing something)
This could amount to nothing, when its all said and done

I think you can make me better
I'm looking ahead, but I'll never
get anything that helps me see
that if you can be proud of me
and proud of yourself, cause you got me
But darling you know, yeah we both know, you know me

Oh, and I'll never hurt you darling, you know damn well
And I'll never make you wonder if the things that I tell you ain't the honest truth
I bet a lot of folks can say they know me




Yeah, but no one would ever know me like you know me
You know me

An anthem for any couple that has been through struggles. Why don't more people know about ATC?? Talented band playing raw music from the heart.

i must say that this was truly a work of a very creative artistic mind, never saw a song like this before, specially like your idea here about showing the lyrics :D

I love this song. I really wish there was a version with "on screen" Lyrics. I was obsessed in finding the song after hearing a segment on a TV ad.

HighPriestessYin

First heard this song when I was working at Eddie Bauer about 8 years ago. It popped into my head today... I love it.
