What I didn't know back then

Was that I might be crying

It's such a simple sentiment

To steal the show

And what I didn't know back then

Is that I might be losing you

And still I wouldn't know



And now I suck up to the pale moonlight

Like it's gonna lead me home

And I shiver in my tired clothes

As if that could keep me warm

And now I stare across the dirty river

And I breathe this dirty air

And I'm sure upon the bridge I'll see you

'Cos I dreamt I'd kiss you up there



What didn't I know back then

Is how great the sin

How time goes so slowly

When you're cheating on a friend

And what I didn't know back then

Is that I might be needing you



Yeah, I might be needing you

The need it doesn't end

And now I stare across the dirty river

And I breathe this dirty air

And I'm sure upon the bridge I'll see you

'Cos I dreamt I'd kiss you there



What I didn't know back then

Was that I might be crying

It's such a simple sentiment

To steal the show
