Song lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Well, I met you at the blood bank,
We were looking at the bags
Wondering if any of the colors
Matched any of the names we knew on the tags.
You said: "See, look, that's yours
Stacked on top with your brother's,
See how they resemble one another's
Even in their plastic little covers?"

[Chorus:]
And I said, I know it well,
That secret that you know,
But don't know how to tell,
It fucks with your honor
And it teases your head,
But you know that it's good, girl,
Because it's running you with red.

[Verse 2:]
Then the snow started falling,
We were stuck out in your car,
You were rubbing both of my hands
Chewing on a candy bar.
You said, "Ain't this just like the present
To be showing up like this?"
As a moon waned to crescent,
We started to kiss.

[Chorus:]
And I said I know it well,
That secret that we know,
That we don't know how to tell,
I'm in love with your honor,
I'm in love with your cheeks.
What's that noise up the stairs, babe?
Is that Christmas morning creaks?

[Outro:]
And I know it well,
I know it well,
And I know it well,
I know it well,
And I know it well,
I know it well,
And I know it well,
I know it well.
