With no apology
You came right up to me
And took my breath away
Hid it in your favourite tree
You said "that's our little secret
And if you ever need it
It's not far safe in a jar
Tucked away discretely"
And that's how I know your love
That's how I know your love
That's how I know your love
Is meant for me,
That's how I know your love
That's how I know your love
That's how I know your love
Is meant for me.
The top deck of the bus
Will always belong to us
You took lipstick from your coat
Scribbled a romantic note.
Under the seat you did hide it
Using your chewing gum to bind it
And you said "it's your adventure
Only you will know how to find it".
And that's how I know your love
That's how I know your love
That's how I know your love
Is meant for me.
That's how I know your love
That's how I know your love
That's how I know your love
Is meant your love
We looked down at the town from the top of the hill
In the hour when everything stopped and was still
From the houses and cars to the bars and the boats
To the trees and the stars and the jars and the notes
And I said "the world seems so small from above
I can crush it between my forefinger and my thumb"
"That's true" you said
"But you can't do that with me I bet"
And guiding my thumb to your throat
You said "Small things seem bigger up close"
Senses melted and dulled as I felt your pulse
And I felt so alive I could choke
Well I knew you were a keeper
When you, just like Aretha
Took a little piece of my heart
And buried underneath the place
Where you gave me your keyring
And said "If you ever leave
And we're apart
And you need your heart
Well just stand on this spot here and breathe in
And that's how I know your love
That's how I know your love
That's how I know your love
Is meant for me.
That's how I know your love
That's how I know your love
That's how I know your love
Is meant for me.
