Surfin' though the pages of my mind
I find picture of you
You were young and I was too
«I do» you said, and I believed you
Singing songs and dancing in the street
The beat I don't remember
A barking dog, a velvet chain
The rain was cold but you were colder
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew what you're about
I doubt if I ever knew you
We took the ferry late at night
First light discovered us together
We agreed that paradise was nice
But couldn't last forever
Bright eyed and bushy tailed
I failed to see what everyone else saw
Moss growing on the roof
The truth was getting hard to swallow
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew what you're about
I doubt if I ever knew you
For every left there is a right,
For every day there is a night
A moon, a sun, a smoking gun,
A tear, an eye, hello, goodbye
For every hand there is a glove,
For every hate there is a love
Heaven, earth, a death, a birth,
A hat, a head, and a hunger never fed!
You dropped the TV in the pool that's cool,
I know, but no one saw you
Hotel rooms and limousines,
It seems to me you got your heaven.
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew what you're about
I doubt if I ever knew you
Tomorrow never comes they say
But hey, you know I don't believe them
I close my eyes and drift away
Today has gone, I'm still standing
I'm standing
I'm standing, oh
I'm standing, oh
I'm standing, oh
I'm standing, oh
I'm standing, oh
