You Should've Known

Verse 1

Morning came without your name

The kettle sang a hollow tune

I counted steps down to the street

And wondered where you'd gone by noon

Verse 2

Your coat still hangs beside the door

The garden's overgrown again

I never thought I'd miss the rain

The way it kept us both in frame

Pre-Chorus

And I should've known

The second that you turned

The weight was in your leaving

Chorus

You should've known that I'd wait

You should've known I'd be here

Every window left ajar

Hoping you would reappear

You should've known

Verse 3

The evenings stretch like empty roads

I trace your name across the glass

The neighbors say I'm doing fine

They don't know how the time moves past

Pre-Chorus

And I should've seen

The quiet in your eyes

Before you said goodbye

Chorus

You should've known that I'd wait

You should've known I'd be here

Every window left ajar

Hoping you would reappear

You should've known

Bridge

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh

If I could turn the clocks around

I'd keep you talking till the dawn

But seasons shift and years roll by

And I'm still standing where you've gone

Chorus

You should've known that I'd wait

You should've known I'd be here

Every window left ajar

Hoping you would reappear

You should've known

(You should've known)

Outro
