Intro.             She looked me over   And I guess she thought   I was all right     All right in a sort of a limited way   For an off-night     She said don’t I know you   From the cinematographer’s party?     I said who am I   To blow against the wind?   I know what I know   I’ll sing what I said   We come and we go   That’s a thing that I keep   In the back of my head   I know what I know   I’ll sing what I said   We come and we go   That’s a thing that I keep   In the back of my head               She said there’s something about you   That really reminds me of money     She was the kind of a girl   Who could say things that   Weren’t that funny     I said what does that mean   I really remind you of money?     She said who am I   To blow against the wind?   I know what I know   I’ll sing what I said   We come and we go   That’s a thing that I keep   In the back of my head   I know what I know   I’ll sing what I said   We come and we go   That’s a thing that I keep   In the back of my head               She moved so easily   All I could think of was sunlight     I said aren’t you the woman   Who was recently given a Fulbright?     She said don’t I know you   From the cinomatagrapher’s party     I said who am I   To blow against the wind?   I know what I know   I’ll sing what I said   We come and we go   That’s a thing that I keep   In the back of my head   I know what I know   I’ll sing what I said   We come and we go   That’s a thing that I keep   In the back of my head             Repeat and fade    I know what I know I know what I know

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque une rencontre éphémère entre deux personnes qui se reconnaissent à une soirée, créant un jeu de regard et de paroles. Le protagoniste semble naviguer entre la superficialité des interactions et une profonde réflexion sur sa propre identité. Il reconnaît l'impermanence des relations humaines, rappelant que nous venons et partons sans cesse dans la vie, tout en gardant certaines vérités en tête. Le contexte de cette rencontre se déroule dans un cadre mondain, où les protagonistes échangent des plaisanteries sur des sujets tels que la célébrité et l'argent. Cela souligne un contraste entre l'importance attribuée aux apparences et la profondeur des pensées que chacun cache en lui.
