How Would I Know - Ari Hest

I was sure

That you were what I'd waited for

You were the ultimate goal

I wouldn't be hungry anymore

Had a toast

With everyone to recognize

Just how far I had come

That's why it's such a surprise

I wake up restless in the night

Can't fall back asleep

Something isn't right

And then it hits

How would I know if this was it

How would I know for sure

What's been for sure in my world

Caught a show

Down at the Rockwood last night

Came away humming a tune

Sat down at home began to write

And like a habit

I never was able to kick

You put me in a trance

Everything suddenly clicked

I'm with you for better or for worse

Don't know if you're a gift

Or if you're a curse

After all

How would I know if this was it

How would I know for sure

What's been for sure in my world

Could've been everything

Now I could be wrong

That could have been all

That could've been all there'll be

But if I don't play along

It won't ever be clear to me

No it won't ever be clear to me

How would I know if this was it

How would I know for sure

How would I know if this was it

How would I know for sure

How would I know if this was it

How would I know for sure

What's been for sure

I know

I know

I know

I know
