A glass has a fate, it's to shatter Though it may try to escape And I have a fate, it's to matter To bloom before it's too late Everyone's on their own time For me, it was later than most For all, it seemed to come easy Maybe they had fewer ghosts
And it took me so long To find the truth that When I'm down or when I'm out All I need to know is you ♪ All I need to know is you ♪ And I used to follow the sunshine And blame everyone when it rained No matter the good things that happened I'd find a way to complain But time has got me to thinkin' And thinkin' has led me to you The years that I spent cryin' That's how this garden grew And it took me so long To find the truth that When I'm down or when I'm out All I need to know is you ♪ All I need to know is you ♪ So I hope that we meet in the middle 'Cause you're where I wanna land Each one before was a riddle A trick, and I'd choose the wrong hand And it's strange that with you I'm as open As open as I've ever been So I'm thinkin' my losses are over Maybe it's my time to win
And it took me so long To find the truth that When I'm down, when I'm out All I need to know is you ♪ All I need to know is you
