You say you can't recall my name or my face
I am so sure I knew you well before this
I can't sing and I can't dance so good
There is no song, there is no beat left to dance

If I knew what I know now
I'm sure I could show how
The story all ends
If I knew what I know now
I'd probably just punk out
Before it begins

I can blame it on the rest of the world
To understand it takes a mind with patience

You say you can't recall my number, girl
A penny for your thoughts on beatings I have taken

Jotting stardates in your Captain's Log
I am for sure alone in this life
Building karma with your cats and your dogs
I am for sure the victor this time

If I knew what I know now
I'm sure I could show how
The story all ends
If I knew what I know now
I'd probably just punk out
Before it begins

I Knew What I Know Now Lyrics
