I Thought I Knew Love

I thought I knew love

But then I heard you laugh.

I would face every day with a smile in its place

If I could wake up to that sound every morning.

I thought I knew love

But then I cried.

I looked at you and didn't want to cry anymore.

You held me and the world went away.

We were the world.

I thought I knew love

But then we shared everything.

Secrets, stories, snacks, Schnapps...

And it was so easy.

Your happy became my happy

And my struggles became yours.

I thought I knew love

But then we found adventure

In the frost-bitten winds at Pittock

(You warmed my hands in your pockets.)

To the turbines of the Altamont.

I thought I knew love

But then I met you.
