It was then, by the river when the moon in light lit the smoke off the cinders
You should have known First a crack, then a crumble
And the traffic moan You should have known then who I was
And the sun, opened up just like confetti, and somewhere in that moment
You should have known
And the world all burned up Just like gasoline
You should have known then who I was
It was then the dust settled and the rain that came killed the flame
From the kettle you should have known
There are some things still blacker than a lack of light
You should have known then who I was
And the chord that was struck was unraveling
At the sound of it fading You should have known
And the peace between us was battling
You should have know then who I was
