Known You Before
Jason Ross Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I swear I've known you before
The way my heart sank through the floor
And I feel at home when I know you're close
I swear I've known you before

Love songs make so much sense on replay in my head
I swear I've known you before
Your cosmic energy trapped in my memory
I swear I've known you before

Emotions running high, reading each others' minds
I swear I've known you before
A million miles away, we travel time and space
I swear I've known you before

I swear I've known you before

Blue eyes so full of light guiding us through the night
I swear I've known you before
I swear I've known you before
If we were worlds apart, I'd swim through all the stars
I swear I've known you before





I swear I've known you before

[LYRICS]
I swear I've known you before
The way my heart sank through the floor
And I feel at home
When I know you're close
I swear I've known you before

Love songs make so much sense
On replay in my head
I swear I've known you before
Your cosmic energy
Trapped in my memory
I swear I've known you before

Emotions running high
Reading each other's minds
I swear I've known you before
A million miles away
We travel sun and space
I swear I've known you before

I swear I've known you before

Blue eyes so full of light
Guiding us through the night
I swear I've known you before
I swear I've known you before

If we were worlds apart
I'd swim through all the stars
I swear I've known you before
I swear I've known you before

As with all their other songs, I'm stunned by the art that Seven Lions creates. Never came across a song from them that I don't like, and I long for the day they come to Oklahoma.



Канарский. Реальная жизнь. Влоги и путешествия.

I swear I've known you before
The way my heart sank through the floor
And I feel at home when I know you're close
I swear I've known you before
Love songs make so much sense on replay in my head
I swear I've known you before
Your cosmic energy trapped in my memory
I swear I've known you before
Emotions running high, reading each others' minds
I swear I've known you before
A million miles away, we travel time and space
I swear I've known you before
I swear I've known you before
Blue eyes so full…
