Knew Enough To Know Nothing At All Lyrics - Pete Yorn

(written by Pete Yorn) 

You took a baby off her hands 

She stole the records from your van 

You opened up to her 

And made her understand 

But you're still locked in that same young love 

Still locked in that same young love 

You knew enough to know nothing at all 

They took the news and distorted it 

She was the one who was loving it 

She always wanted more than you could give today 

So you really can't complain 

Once more 

You know that she is spoken for 

As dreams of life without her fade away 

He was a loner 

For sixteen years embracing all his defended fears 

He could have lost her name 

Instead he called today 

And he's still feeling that same old way 

He's proven what she used to say 

He knew enough to know nothing at all 

He's still locked in that same young love 

A ghost of what he's thinking of 

He knew enough 

And never should have called
