When You Know You Know
Natasha Bedingfield · N.B. [2007]
Love is not a castle in the clouds
Coz there's a storm, it'll all come crashing down
I'd rather find it like a penny on the ground
Coz that's something I can keep and carry around
Truth is not a feather blowin' round in the wind
It's that jump in your heart, goosebumps on your skin
Just pinch me if it's really happening
Coz I'm more awake than I've ever been
And you're the one from my dream
You're out of my mind
And into my heart
You're more than a feeling
More than I could have thought
I can't deny, I can't say love never comes
All I know is, when you know, you know
And I just know
That love has come in the form of you
If someone put me on a witness stand
I'd point to you, a hardcore evidence
You're proof that you don't have to understand
You can still fall into the right hands
You're the one in my dreams
[Chorus]
I was a doubter
A typical, won't believe til I see
Oh so grounded, to think that someone like you
Couldn't be right in front of me
[Chorus x2]
And I just know
