I didn't know -- circles and crosshatches
I didn't know that you had two eyes
I didn't know I would recognize your voice
I had no choice

I didn't know -- you can't see much from so high
I didn't know -- only the earth and sky
I didn't know about your dignity
I didn't know as the bombs fell silently
Did you even see them?

I didn't know you were someone that I knew
I didn't know it was you

I didn't know we hit our target clean
I didn't know I'd have these waking dreams
I didn't know under the blanket of flame
I didn't know that you wore my name next to your heart
I was too smart

I didn't know -- I read the newspapers
I didn't know your hair smelled just like hers
I didn't know I could touch your face
I didn't know you would take me in this embrace
It was not wasted

I didn't know you were someone that I knew
I didn't know it was you
