I Know You Well Lyrics - Out-of-state Plates - Fountains Of Wayne

This morning under awaking glow 

The sun filled our room like December snow 

Like morning through an old window 

There's a place in your head I will always know 

To the same world born two of a kind 

If it's on your mind, it'll be on mine 'cause 

I know you well 

Like the soil in the ground 

(I know you well) 

Grass grown in the shadow of a blow 

And if the blow will never toll 

You and me grow old 

I hope we'll live to tell 

How you know I know? 

You knew, I know you well 

Down under beneath the softened skin 

Where the words we whisper sink in 

It's no wonder the way the words still ring 

Sure as sin, it's not a secret thing 

To the same world born two of a kind 

It's on your mind, it'll be on mine 'cause 

I know you well 

Like the soil in the ground 

(I know you well) 

Grass grown in the shadow of a blow 

And if the blow will never toll 

You and me grow old 

I hope we'll live to tell 

How you know I know? 

You knew I know New York in 1991 

Here in the same room for so long 

Out of the cold November 

Still as a passport picture 

Still as a passport picture 

Still as a passport picture when 

To the same world born two of a kind 

It's on your mind, it'll be on mine 'cause 

I know you well 

Like the soil in the ground 

(I know you well) 

Grass grown in the shadow of a blow 

And if the blow will never toll 

You and me grow old 

I hope we'll live to tell 

How you know I know? 

You knew I know you well
