Ani Difranco - Know Now Then lyrics

It's not so much that we got closer

It's that her face just go bigger

And by the time it was filling up my whole view

I figured my face had got bigger too

So I used it to try and way her

Say something to her

Make my case

But my face

Never had a chance

All along it was the wrong song and dance

I just stood there

Without even a stance

Helpless to her advance

And her retreat

Backspace, delete

It wasn't so much that we fell in love as

My life just seemed to come down

To a slow walk on a straight line

Between her smile and her frown

And maybe we never were as close

As we should have been

But I didn't know what I now now, then

Yeah, I didn't know what I know now, then
