By the third of July I could tell that 
My eye were shifting to the way that I first saw you 
Before I ever knew you 
When we both saw it there 
Wasn't bold enough to wear it on my sleeve 
We left it at that, last September 
Could we backtrack dear, so we can move along? 

[CHORUS] 
I know what I know what I know 
We've got a long way to go 
But I'm trying, I'm trying I'm trying, I'm trying 
To win you when you are around 
Go ahead pick my heart up off the ground 
If it looks nice in your hands, I've got no other plans 

Look what we're already made of 
This it stands alone 
With nothing to taint it's picture 
With no need of a sugar coat 
It's already sweet to my taste, silver lining's a waste 
It's made of gold and I can't remember 
Do I always need you this bad? Do you? 
Does a chorus need a song? 

I know what I know what I know 
We've got a long way to go 
But I'm trying, I'm trying I'm trying, I'm trying 
To win you when you are around 
Go ahead pick my heart up off the ground 
If it looks nice in your hands... 

[Bridge] 
I've got no other plans that I've written or stacked in 
my head 
I've got thousands of things I should just leave unsaid 
We can move along, a chorus needs a song 
I need you, I need you, I need you, 
I need you, I know I do. 

I know what I know what I know 
We've got a long way to go 
But I'm trying, I'm trying I'm trying, I'm trying 
To win you when you are around 
Go ahead pick my heart up off the ground 
If it looks nice in your hands, I've got no other plans
