lyrics

You clocked the empty bowl by the sink

Seen my coat on the chair, didn't let it shrink

You slid me the keys when I lost my link

And asked, "You alright?" like you knew I would sink

No big speech, just a look in your eye

Late-night bus home, rain stuck to the sky

You put the meal deal down by my side

Like you read my face before I could lie

You knew first

You knew first

You knew first

You knew first

Before I said a word

Now I'm on the step with my trainers half-tied

Phone on ten percent, your name lit up the ride

You left a plate warm, peas on the side

And saved me a seat when I came back inside

You knew first

You knew first

You knew first

You knew first

Before I said a word

In the kitchen, your hand on my shoulder

No questions, you just made the room colder

Then warmer, somehow, like you saw the weather

You held it down first, now we stand together

You knew first

You knew first

You knew first

You knew first

Before I said a word
