Knock On Wood
Anna Graceman Lyrics

We don't wanna dive too deep
We are afraid to fully invest ourselves emotionally or go all in.

We don't wanna think about drowning
We avoid contemplating the possibility of getting overwhelmed or consumed by our emotions.

We don't wanna climb too high
We are cautious about achieving too much success or reaching heights that could be dangerous or difficult to maintain.

We don't wanna think about falling
We avoid considering the potential consequences or failure that may come with our ambitions.

We don't wanna move too fast... what if we crash?
We are hesitant to take big steps or progress quickly because we fear the potential negative outcomes and the impact they may have on us.

Should we brace for the impact?
We question whether we should mentally prepare ourselves for the potential negative consequences that might occur.

It could save us
Exercising caution and not taking risks can protect us from harm or undesirable outcomes.

It could kill us
Being overly cautious or hesitant can prevent us from seizing opportunities and experiencing the fullness of life.

We throw ourselves at the mercy
We surrender ourselves to the uncertain outcomes of our decisions and actions.

It could make us
Our approach of avoiding risks can result in us becoming emotionally hardened or lacking empathy.

Cruel and jealous
By being overly cautious, we may become possessive or insecure in our relationships.

It could drown us in worry
Our excessive caution and fear can overwhelm us with anxiety and stress.

Knock on wood, gotta keep away bad love (Bad love)
We hope to avoid negative or toxic relationships that could bring us pain or heartbreak.

Fingers crossed that my heart is strong enough (Enough)
We hope that our emotional resilience will be sufficient to withstand any challenges or hardships we may face.

Oh, the way that we look at each other's a good omen
The deep connection and affection we share when we gaze into each other's eyes is a positive sign or indicator of a strong relationship.

To keep holdin', oh
We should continue nurturing and holding onto our relationship, cherishing the positive aspects we have.

Knock, knock, knockin' on, oh, oh
We metaphorically knock on wood to ward off negative influences or outcomes, expressing our desire for protection and luck.

We don't wanna think about time
We prefer not to consider the passing of time and the implications it may have on our relationship.

We don't wanna think about aging
We reject the idea of growing older and the changes it brings, both physically and emotionally.

We don't wanna flirt with the fire
We avoid engaging in risky or potentially damaging situations that could jeopardize our relationship.

Wouldn't wanna put this in danger
We are cautious and protective of what we have, not wanting to harm or jeopardize our relationship in any way.

I don't wanna doubt the fact... that we can last
I choose not to question the longevity or durability of our relationship because I believe in our ability to withstand challenges.

I don't wanna be like that
I don't want to adopt a negative mindset or approach that doubts the strength of our relationship.

Oh, the way that we look at each other's a good omen
The loving and affectionate way we gaze into each other's eyes is a positive sign or omen for our relationship's future.

To keep holdin', oh
We should continue to hold onto and cherish our relationship, nurturing it with love and care.

Oh, the way that we look at each other's a good omen
The way we gaze into each other's eyes is a positive sign, reaffirming our bond and love for each other.

To keep holdin', oh
We should continue to hold onto our relationship, treasuring the love and connection we share.

Knock on wood, gotta keep away bad love, bad love
We express the need to protect ourselves from negative or toxic relationships that could harm us emotionally.

Knock, knock, knockin' on, oh, oh
We symbolically knock on wood to ward off negative energies or outcomes, hoping for good fortune and protection.
