If I Knew Then

The first time that I saw you
Looking like you did
We were young, we were restless
Just two clueless kids.

But if I knew then what I know now
I'd fall in love.

You're on a bus in Chicago
Three rows to the left
You know my heart is reaching for you
But we never even met.

If I knew then what I know now
I'd fall in love.

'Cause love only comes
Once in a while
And knocks on your door
And throws you a smile.

And takes every breath
Leaves every scar
Speaks through your soul
And sings to your heart.

But if I knew then what I know now
I'd fall in love.

On a summer night in august
Backseat of my car
Said I'm trying to get to know you
I took it way too far.

But if I knew then what I know now
I'd fall in love.

Whoa, 'cause love only comes
Once in a while
And knocks on your door
And throws you a smile.

And takes every breath
Leaves every scar
Speaks through your soul
And sings to your heart.

But if I knew then what I know now
I'd fall in love.

Whoa, I used up a lot of chances
But you give them back
But if again it comes crawling
I'm gonna make it last.

'Cause love only comes
Once in a while
And knocks on your door
And throws you a smile.

It takes every breath
Leaves every scar
Speaks through your soul
And sings to your heart.

And if I knew then what I know now
Whoa, if I knew then what I know now.

I'd fall in love.
