That's How You Know

When you take the train to midtown to have coffee by yourself Pull the pictures from the drawer and put them back up on the shelf When you hear the sound of church bells And they don't make you wanna cry And you're not getting drunk just so you can hide That's how you know That's how you know When you open up the curtains - start answering the phone Stop driving around for hours - cuz you hate going home When you can talk about it - even say their name When you start thinking you'll survive even though You'll never be the same That's how you know That's how you know That's how you know That's how you know There's no such thing as a long goodbye When you wish it would've lasted your whole life When you don't need a cigarette or a pill to help you sleep When you don't end every night on the hard wood on your knees When you wake up one morning surprised to see the world exists And your eyes ain't full of tears Your heart ain't full of bitterness That's how you know, that's how you know That's how you know, that's how you know When you're thankful that you ever knew a love this strong When you finally find the courage to write this song That's how you know That's how you know That's how you know You're moving on...
