I Once Knew Lyrics

I once knew a girl made of daisies and pearls

And every time the rain would pour

It'd take all of her with it

She gave me the world

Parchment palaces

And every time the rain would pour it'd take all her words too

She said I like it when the sky starts to cry

Cause I know earth is just as sad as I am sometimes

I'm always questioning what's wrong and what's right

Cause what I feel are just vibrations that fleet and fly

Happiness is overrated

Take it and replace it

Give me purpose

Give me gods location

Cause I just wanna talk for a minute

Said to me that love is patient

But how long does it wait?

Is it an enigmatic constellation?

Or one that we know?

Taking me back to dancing to jazz in my living room

Somewhere there's heaven how high the moon

Dave had it right when he said sometimes

I think about you in the mid of June

And it's me

I'm you

No this nothing but a letter to the girl

I once knew

I'd like to say im better

I'm always writing in the hopes of it

A penny in the wishing well

I've tried, I've failed, I've yet to be

I'm learning still that happiness ain't everything

Happiness is overrated

Take it and replace it

Give me purpose

Give me Gods location

Cause I just wanna talk for a minute

Said to me that love is patient

But how long does it wait?

Is it an enigmatic constellation?

Or one that we know?

No storm has ever destroyed the sky

I'll forever give thanks to mine
