I Know It Well Lyrics - Ron Sexsmith

I know the feeling 

That's written on your face 

Where you don't seem quite yourself 

You're all out of place 

I know it well 

Hope springs eternal 

Twenty-four hours a day 

Yet still we convince ourselves 

It's out of our way 

I know it well 

When your heart's retreating 

From this lonely world 

That's the time that you must stay 

For it needs you 

It needs you 

I hope tomorrow 

Is clearer than today 

Though in your house sorrow dwells 

It never stays 

I know it well
