You Know
Josh Middleton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you're my next mistake
In between the truth and lies
In between the lows and highs
Tell me where and I'll go
Tell me something I don't know
There's a fire in my heart
Days fade into darkness
As the night time comes alive
And my heart beats at its fastest
And I can't believe my eyes
Girl, can't you see?
Oh, 'cause there's nothing you can't do
When you believe
Girl, that it's me not you, whoa
You know, you know, you know, you know
You know, you know, you know, you know
Every word I say is true
You know, you know, you know, you know
You know, you know, you know, you know
Girl, it's me and you
When you walk that walk
And you talk that talk
When you call my name
When you play those games
When you say those words
Even though it hurts
There's no lesson learned
There's just bridges burned
Days fade into darkness
As the night time comes alive
And my heart beats at its fastest
And I can't believe my eyes
Girl, can't you see?
Oh, 'cause there's nothing you can't do
When you believe
Girl, that it's me not you, whoa
You know, you know, you know, you know
You know, you know, you know, you know
Every word I say is true
You know, you know, you know, you know
You know, you know, you know, you know
Girl, it's me and you
'Cause tonight
Bet your life
You can blame it on me
Blame it on me
You know why?
It's goodbye
When you rain down on me
Rain down me
Days fade into darkness
As the night time comes alive
And my heart beats at its fastest
And I can't believe my eyes
Girl, can't you see?
You know, you know, you know, you know
You know, you know, you know, you know
Every word I say is true
When you believe
You know, you know, you know, you know
You know, you know, you know, you know
Girl, it's me and you
'Cause tonight (You don't know and you don't know)
Every word I say is true
'Cause tonight (You don't know and you don't know)
Girl, it's me and you
The song "You Know" by Josh Middleton delves into the confusing and tumultuous emotions of a failing relationship. The singer is aware that the relationship is not healthy and is most likely going to end badly, but they cannot resist the temptation to stay with the person they are with. They talk about the highs and lows of the relationship, and how they cannot seem to escape the fire in their heart and soul. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "you know" as if the singer is begging their partner to see the truth of the situation. Though the relationship is toxic, the singer cannot help but feel a strong connection to the other person. The song ends with the realization that it is time to end things and the acknowledgement that whatever happens, it is not entirely one person's fault.
Overall, "You Know" captures the internal struggle of knowing something is harmful but not being able to resist the pull towards it. The song conveys the emotional and mental pain that comes with a relationship that is clearly not working, yet the bond between the two people is too strong to sever.
