Know It All
As It Stands Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too scared to say you love her too scared to let your feelings show you know she's leaving but it's better than to be let go.
Another Will Hunting you think you know it all but this time you've never been so wrong you're only just a boy falling for some girl yet you haven't told her exactly how you feel.
She can't remember you and the last time that you met, she can't remember you you stupid f**king prick.. Will Hunting…
Tell me what you have denied she feels the same as you inside.
Another Will Hunting you think you know it all but this time you've never been so wrong you're only just a boy falling for some girl yet you haven't told her exactly how you feel Will Hunting…
The song "Know it All" by As It Stands is about a boy who is in love with a girl but is too scared to express his feelings to her. The opening lines describe the fear that he feels inside which makes him want to run and hide. He is at a stage where he is so consumed by his feelings that he feels small and insignificant against the wall. He is afraid to tell her that he loves her or to show his feelings for her as he fears being let go.
Through the lyrics, he compares himself with Will Hunting, a character from the movie "Good Will Hunting" who was also arrogant and thought he knew everything. The singer says that like Will, he also thinks he knows it all but in reality, he is just a boy falling for a girl. He has not told her how he feels about her, even though she feels the same way for him, and the fear of rejection is holding him back. The song ends by urging him to speak out and tell her how he feels before it's too late.

Listened to this song for the first time right after my first date with my boyfriend. Absolute euphoria realising life was about to get so much better. Four years later and we're still together, now this song makes me tear up and get goosebumps.
