Meaning of I Know lyrics by Tom Odell

June 22, 2023

"I Know" by Tom Odell is a song about the aftermath of a relationship and the difficulty of letting go. The song begins by setting a scene of coldness and darkness, with the protagonist describing their surroundings using sensory details. As they sing a song for somebody they care about, they express the feeling of distance from them, surrounded by countless unknown faces. The protagonist knows what the other person's told them- that the relationship is over- yet can't help calling and hoping for another chance. They describe the little things they love about the person, even the arguments, and how they make up each time, but they also acknowledge that it's time to move on. The bridge represents a plea to the other person to bring them what they need to move on. In the end, they know it's over and they can't keep calling, but they keep falling back to the person they once loved.
