Hüsker Dü — Now That You Know Me lyrics

Lyrics

When we were as strangers it was so long ago
I liked you but I lacked the courage to tell you so Wanted you by my side but never below me It doesn’t seem so bad now that you know me Now that you know me The situation was just right for us to be friends
And gradually upon your love I came to depend
I wasted time afraid someday you’d outgrow me It doesn’t seem so bad now that you know me You gave your love and gave a compliment to my soul
The two of us became a part of a greater whole
You weren’t concerned about the heartaches you ('ve) show (n) me It doesn’t seem so bad now that you know me We comforted and gave each other security
Protect you from the world and all its insanity
When waves of madness threatened to undertow me It doesn’t seem so bad now that you know me
(repeat first verse)
It doesn’t seem so bad now that you know me
(repeat al coda)+
