Cage - I Never Knew You Lyrics

Artist: Cage

Album: Depart From Me

  • Songwriters: Sean Martin, Christian Michael Palko

You're always dying inside that much closer to home
On a crowded street corner surrounded by people all alone
Pain in the heart, rain in the dark, the womb is glum and bitter
She walks around the corner, it's like she brought the sun with her

Then everything just brightened up, I couldn't make this up
My fingers in my eyes as she walked by like I was waking up
And so many words, I couldn't string a sentence together to bother her
I instantly forgot all my plans and started to follow her

It's like the sky opened and God handed you directly to me
I know it sounds crazy but so is life, I'm sinking
And feeling like your heart is beating solely for me

Your legs are long and toned, you must be walking home
I love the way your lips move when you're talking on your phone
Intoxicating yet truly undue impurities
Plague every thought of you while I'm trailing you like you're security

Lost, we couldn't know our paths would cross but time knew it
Feet sticking out the window, an opportunity climbing through it
Pain for sale, looking to find a new taker, chance to speak blown
When you looked at me I looked in the newspaper

Because the sky opened and God handed you directly to me
I know it sounds crazy but so is life, I'm sinking
And feeling like your heart is beating solely for me

I'm miles out of my way, creepy, I want more
Was gonna turn back but you stuck your key in your front door
I'm standing across the street, stars that aligned us to meet
Standing outside with your trash feeling incomplete

My finger aching for your doorbell like a random blog
Instead I lurk outside in the cold like an abandoned dog
Perish the thought, you should cherish the words that I got in my mouth
The only words that can truly explain how I got in your house

Because the sky opened and God handed you directly to me
I know it sounds crazy but so is life, I'm sinking
And feeling like your heart is beating solely for me
Unlikely, impossible, I couldn't dream to think it

There's something happening between us you can't deceive
I'm so in over my head I've learned to breathe in it
Your eyes are screaming and you're saying, "Oh baby" to me
If there was a way out I think you would've taken it

My hands and arms are the only way that you can leave
Face to face for the first time you feel what I'm feeling
Selfishly no longer breathing because of me

    I wanna be that girl for him. xoxo, Syd-Delicious
    Whoah- what is this seventy-five character requirement? Kinda wack cuz I said what I had to say. Hmmm. I do believe his love/lust was so strong that he had to break in and just take her finally. I like the broken door at edge of camera view.

    Definately my favourite song.
    I guess I wouldn't put it past him but I don't think this song is about a serial killer/rapist. "And so many words I couldn't string a sentence together to bother her. I instantly forgot all my plans and started to follow her" That sounds more like a infatuation issue then his want to kill her.
    "There's something happening between us you can't deceive" he sounds more lovestruck, maybe heartbroken. "Face to face for the first time you feel what I'm feeling" She breaks his heart, he confronts her, his psychopathy takes over and he kills her, perhaps. "Selfishly no longer breathing because of me." That line could lean towards suicide too. There are to many ways this song could go.

    It totally makes sense though, the whole killer scenario.
