More Matthew Sweet

[KAZ]

Been on a real lyrics reading kick lately. I don't care much for Sweet's musical accompaniment, but his lyrics are top notch.
Thought I Knew You
Matthew Sweet.
I thought I knew you
I was in for a surprise
I let my love flow
From my heart into your eyes
And then I found out
That there was nothing I could know or guess about you
You'd go as far as you could go
And it took me years to figure out
That there was nothing I could give to you
And years to figure out
That there was nothing you would take from me
And how can I describe
The way you slowly took my hope away
And all of the time
I thought I knew you

 

[seyton]

ya, i's got a q fer u. k, if she cant take nothing, howd she take yer hope?

 

[Haza]

i think its because, in the end he says "i thought i knew you" so really she could take things away, and she took away his hopes
i like the lyrics
