What I Know
Parachute Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I take the car and drive at night
The white stripes blur and ease my mind
When all that's left is a single light
Instead of this confusion

And I'm not certain of the way it was
And I'm not sure what I could've done
Oh I wonder if it'd be enough
To stop her from leaving

And I realize, the only thing I know is
She said I'm in love with someone else
She said, I fell in love with someone else
And I, I'm in love with someone

And that's all that I know for sure
I stopped the car and closed my eyes
I could see her face, but it takes a while
But it makes it like the morning lights

Slow and unfocused
So I go home and
She's sitting on the kitchen chair
Oh, her suitcase waiting by the stairs

Oh they're both poured out from all the years
And they're ready to let go
And I realize, the only thing that's shown is
She said I'm in love with someone else

She said, I fell in love with someone else
And I, I'm in love with someone
And that's all that I know for sure
She's in love with someone else

She said, She fell in love with someone else
And I, she's in love with someone
And that's all that I know for sure
And I'm on my knees

And I'm on my knees
And I'm on my knees
And I'm on my knees
Yes, and I realized

The only thing I know is
She said, I'm in love with someone else
She said, I fell in love with someone else
And I, I'm in love with someone

And that's all that I know for sure
She's in love with someone else
She said, she fell in love with someone else
And I, she's in love with someone

And that's all that I know for sure
I'm in love with someone else
She said, I fell in love with someone else
And I, I'm in love with someone

And that's all that I know for sure
She's in love with someone else
She said, she fell in love with someone else
And I, she's in love with someone





And that's all that I know for sure

Line by Line Meaning

I take the car and drive at night
I get in my car and drive in the dark


The white stripes blur and ease my mind
The lines on the road blur and calm me down


When all that's left is a single light
When there's only one light left on the road


Instead of this confusion
To avoid feeling confused


And I'm not certain of the way it was
I don't really know how things used to be


And I'm not sure what I could've done
I'm not sure what I could have done differently


Oh I wonder if it'd be enough
I wonder if I could have done enough to make her stay


To stop her from leaving
To prevent her from leaving me


And I realize, the only thing I know is
I come to the realization that the only thing I know for sure is


She said I'm in love with someone else
She told me that she loves someone else


She said, I fell in love with someone else
She also told me that she fell in love with someone else


And I, I'm in love with someone
I admit that I'm also in love with someone else


And that's all that I know for sure
And that's the only information I'm certain of


I stopped the car and closed my eyes
I parked the car and closed my eyes


I could see her face, but it takes a while
I could visualize her face, but it took some time


But it makes it like the morning lights
But it's like the light of dawn


So I go home and
So I head back to my house


She's sitting on the kitchen chair
She's sitting on a chair in the kitchen


Oh, her suitcase waiting by the stairs
Her suitcase is waiting by the stairs


Oh they're both poured out from all the years
We're both exhausted from all the years we've spent together


And they're ready to let go
And we're both willing to move on


And I realize, the only thing that's shown is
I understand that the only thing that's evident is


She said I'm in love with someone else
She told me that she loves someone else


She said, I fell in love with someone else
She also told me that she fell in love with someone else


And I, I'm in love with someone
And I admit that I'm also in love with someone else


And that's all that I know for sure
And that's the only information I'm certain of


She's in love with someone else
She's truly in love with someone else


She said, she fell in love with someone else
She told me that she also fell in love with that person


And I, she's in love with someone
And I acknowledge that she loves someone else


And that's all that I know for sure
And that's the only certain thing I'm aware of


And I'm on my knees
I'm on the ground, kneeling


And I realized
And I came to a realization

Parachute is so under rated! They are incredibly talented, not only with the music, but how skillfully they write songs! I wish more people knew about them, because they for sure have more talent than a lot of artists at the top of the charts!
