Knew Enough to Know Nothing at All

(written by Pete Yorn)

You took a baby off her hands

She stole the records from your van

You opened up to her

And made her understand

But you're still locked in that same young love

Still locked in that same young love

You knew enough to know nothing at all

They took the news and distorted it

She was the one who was loving it

She always wanted more than you could give today

So you really can't complain

Once more

You know that she is spoken for

As dreams of life without her fade away

He was a loner

For sixteen years embracing all his defended fears

He could have lost her name

Instead he called today

And he's still feeling that same old way

He's proven what she used to say

He knew enough to know nothing at all

He's still locked in that same young love

A ghost of what he's thinking of

He knew enough

And never should have called
