That's How You Know

When you take the train to midtown
To have coffee by yourself
Pull the pictures from the drawer
Put them back up on the shelf

When you hear the sound of church bells
And they don't make you wanna cry
And you're not getting drunk
Just so you can hide

That's how you know
That's how you know

When you open up the curtains
Start answering the phone
Stop driving around for hours
'Cause you hate going home

When you can talk about it
Even say their name
When you start thinking
You'll survive even though
You'll never be the same

That's how you know
That's how you know
That's how you know
That's how you know

There's no such thing
As a long goodbye
When you wish it would've lasted
Your whole life

When you don't need a cigarette
Or a pill to help you sleep
When you don't end every night
On the hard wood on your knees

When you wake up one morning
Surprised to see the world exists
And your eyes ain't full of tears
And your heart ain't full of bitterness

That's how you know
That's how you know
That's how you know
That's how you know

When you're thankful
That you ever knew a love this strong
When you finally find
The courage to write this song

That's how you know
That's how you know
That's how you know
You're moving on
