I Know a Place
Jaym Nylon feat. Mooney Lyrics

Once I was young
At some point in my past, I was young and full of potential

Yesterday, perhaps
It is possible that this youthful time was a long time ago, but it could be as recent as yesterday

Danced with Jim and Paul
During this youthful time, I danced with people named Jim and Paul

And kissed some other chaps
I also kissed other men during this time

But never was naive
Despite my youth and new experiences, I never fell for anything too easily

I thought I had a trick or two
I believed I had some clever tricks and strategies up my sleeve

Up my imaginary sleeve
These tricks were likely not practical or realistic, and existed only in my imagination

And now I know I was naive
Looking back on this time with more experience, I realize that some of my past beliefs were misguided

I didn't know what time it was
At some point in my life, I was unaware of the passing of time

Then I met you
But after meeting you, this changed

Oh, what a lovely time it was
Meeting you brought about a truly wonderful and happy time in my life

How sublime it was too
This time was not only happy, but also transcendent and wonderful in other ways

You held my hand
During this time, you provided physical comfort and support

Warm like the month of May it was
Your touch was warm and comforting, much like the weather in May

And I'll say it was grand
Overall, this experience was fantastic and wonderful

Grand to be alive, to be young
Being alive and young during this time truly felt grand and exciting

To be mad, to be yours alone
I allowed myself to fall deeply in love with you, and was willing to give myself to you fully

Grand to see your face, feel your touch
Being in your presence brought me happiness and comfort

Hear your voice say, "I'm all your own"
Hearing your voice state this made me feel loved and special

Life was no prize
Prior to meeting you, my life was difficult and lacked true meaning or joy

I wanted love and here it was
I was seeking love and companionship, and found it in you

Shining out of your eyes
Your love and kindness was easily apparent from the way you looked at me

I'm wise and I know what time it is now
After experiencing this time with you, I feel more knowledgeable and wise regarding life and love
