Girl I Once Knew

Passenger · Wicked Man's Rest [2008]

Sometimes, when the light catches her face

In a very particular way

It remind's me so true

Of a girl that I once knew



And there's something in her voice

That has left me with no choice

And a memory's renewed

Of a girl that I once knew



And there's something when she smiles

Drawing lines around her eyes

There's a key hole I see through

To a girl that I once knew



Sometimes, it's almost too much

When I feel her gentle touch

Running fingers down and through

Like a girl that I once knew



And to hear her sleeping breath

The rise and falling of her chest

Moonlight paints her ghostly blue

Like a girl that I once knew



And the girl that I once knew

Left me empty and confused

Yet it feels different somehow

With the girl that I know now

(Now, now, now...)
