I Know
Tom Odell/Musicfire.in Lyrics

Cold house, white light
The environment is dull and uninviting.

Yellow lamps and black in the skies
The contrast of the yellow lamps and dark sky creates an uneasy feeling.

Full holes in deep brown eyes
There is a sense of sadness and emptiness in the singer's eyes.

I sing you a song that I think you'll like
The artist is attempting to please someone else, possibly a love interest.

And we walk to places we always go
The couple has a routine and frequent familiar locations.

A million faces, I don't know
Despite being surrounded by people, the singer feels alone.

I say the words it always hopes that our heart are racing
The singer is trying to reignite their relationship.

(Even though)
The artist recognizes the futility of their actions.

I know what you told me
The artist is aware of the reality of their relationship.

I know that it's all over and
The relationship has ended.

I know I can't keep calling
The singer acknowledges they cannot keep trying to revive their relationship.

Every time I run yeah
The artist is avoiding true acceptance of the situation.

I keep on falling
The singer is unable to move on.

On the way I stand
The singer is stagnant in their current situation.

On the way I sway
The singer is uncertain and emotional, swayed by their feelings.

The way your hair curls in the rain
A fond memory of the love interest.

The little lines that write on your face
The artist is captivated by the love interest's unique features.

On the winter nights, you come and stay
The love interest provides the singer comfort in difficult times.

Oh the way you hit me when you wanna fight
The relationship was not perfect and had its challenges.

The way I yawn, the way I cry
The artist's emotional state is affected by their crumbling relationship.

The way I love rose with the ties
The love between the couple is kept together by external factors.

But we know it won't make up every time
The couple is aware that external factors cannot sustain a failing relationship.

Oh you bring me all the things I need
Despite the relationship ending badly, the singer still values the love interest.

I follow the rain to the rolling sea
The artist seeks solace in nature after the end of the relationship.

I love you baby all the things I lay
The singer still loves the love interest, despite the end of the relationship.
