We were young back then

Pretending stars were city lights

Hiding in the forest at the dead of night

You were scared to death and I learned to put my heart on ice

If I knew what I know

If I knew what I know
F
If I knew what I know

Come on golden goddess wherever you are

What I'd do for one more evening on the farm

And I dreamt that we were sleeping in the garden

And I dreamt that we were– sleeping

F
She said "meet me in the parlor"
F
I was lost
F
I was a goner

You were stuck on something heavy and my mind was going wild

And you can swim down to the bottom til your face is caked in filth
Am7
And I'll be waiting there forever

In the garden with my guilt

She said meet me in the parlor

I was lost

I was a goner

You were stuck on something heavy and my mind was going wild

And you can swim down to the bottom til you lungs are filled with shit

And I'll be waiting in the garden
Cmaj9
With a heart that never quits
