Before I Knew You Lyrics by Ben Platt

Honeymind

2024

[Verse 1]
There's been something following me all my life
Some protection that I can't define
How I earned it, not a clue
They said, "It's a universal stars align
It's a message from the great divine"
But it didn't quite ring true
[Pre-Chorus]
Like a hope I couldn't place
Til the day I saw your face
[Chorus]
You were somewhere in the sunlight
In the corners of my young mind
Little whispers in a daydream
Little voice that always saved me
You were hiding in plain sight
Now I see you every morning
In your unencumbered glory
But even when you hadn't found me
You were right there all around me
And I've been on my way to you
I loved you long before I knew you
[Verse 2]
Back then when you were bright-eyed
And too young to care
I wonder if you ever left me there
Like an unexpected breeze
I hope now that you and I are intertwined
You can feel me with you all the time
Cause that's where I wanna be
[Pre-Chorus]
You're the hope I couldn't place
Til the day I saw your face
[Chorus]
You were somewhere in the sunlight
In the corners of my young mind
Little whispers in a daydream
Little voice that always saved me
You were hiding in plain sight
Now I see you every morning
In your unencumbered glory
But even when you hadn't found me
You were right there all around me
And I've been on my way to you
I loved you long before I knew you
[Outro]
And when we run out of mornings
I'll remember all your glory
And your love will always ground me
Even when you're not around me
And I'll still be singing to you
I'll love you longer than I knew you
