now i know

I thought it would be like poetry
 That feeling of when eyes meet
 They said it would feel so easy
 Like how a bird takes to the trees
 They've written the songs and films and books
 Of how it would take just one timely look
 To dance and fall your way into love
 And that's how you'll know he's the one
 It feels like way back when
 I wish I had known it then
 There's no such thing as a soulmate
 'Cause love is what you make of it
 I think I've got a taste of it
 I wish I had known all of this before
 I wish I had known, but at least
 Now I know

 I thought summer vacation would never end (never end)
 That feeling of sinking toes in the sand
 They said to enjoy it while you can
 But those words never seemed to land
 It feels like way back when
 I wish I had known it then
 That time is the quickest of thieves
 She won't ever be caught by nobody
 She'll run all the way to eternity
 I wish I had known all of this before
 I wish I had known, but at least
 Now I know
 ♪
 It feels like way back when
 I wish I had known it then
 That soon we'll be gone with a final breath
 And there won't be time to hold onto regrets
 But I know there's something on the other end
 I wish I had known all of this before
 I wish I had known, but at least
 Now I know
 I wish I had known, but at least
 Now I know
