I Knew I Loved You
Blake [Artist] Lyrics

In "I Knew I Loved You," Blake expresses his intuition that some things in life are simply unquestionable. He describes how he sees his future in an instant whenever he looks into his lover's eyes. Even though it may seem crazy to some people, he believes he found his best friend as well as a missing piece to his life's puzzle. The song conveys a sense of completion, as if his life before he met this person was incomplete. He is overwhelmed by a sense of love and completeness that he has never experienced before. Blake seems to suggest that his connection to this person is beyond just physical attraction and maybe something much deeper.

The lyrics explore the idea of destiny and love. Blake is convinced that he was meant to meet his lover at some point in his life, even before they met. He even goes as far as saying “I think I dreamed you into life/ I have been waiting all my life". This suggests that this person was always meant to be a part of his life, and they have been searching to find each other. Through the description of his encounter with his lover, the lyrics convey the idea that true love is a connection that cannot be explained rationally.
