Lori McKenna - That's How You Know lyrics

rate me

When you take the train to midtown to have coffee by yourself

Pull the pictures from the drawer and put them back up on the shelf

When you hear the sound of church bells

And they don’t make you wanna cry

And you’re not getting drunk just so you can hide

That’s how you know

That’s how you know

When you open up the curtains - start answering the phone

Stop driving around for hours - cuz you hate going home

When you can talk about it - even say their name

When you start thinking you’ll survive even though

You’ll never be the same

That’s how you know

That’s how you know

That’s how you know

That’s how you know

There’s no such thing as a long goodbye

When you wish it would’ve lasted your whole life

When you don’t need a cigarette or a pill to help you sleep

When you don’t end every night on the hard wood on your knees

When you wake up one morning surprised to see the world exists

And your eyes ain’t full of tears

Your heart ain’t full of bitterness

That’s how you know, that’s how you know

That’s how you know, that’s how you know

When you’re thankful that you ever knew a love this strong

When you finally find the courage to write this song

That’s how you know

That’s how you know

That’s how you know

You’re moving on.........
