"That's How You Know" lyrics - IRON & WINE

When you take the train to midtown
To have coffee by yourself
Pull the pictures from the drawer
Put 'em back up on the shelf
When you hear the sound of church bells
They don't make you wanna cry
You're not getting drunk
Just so you can hide
That's how you know

When you open up the curtains
Start answering the phone
Start driving 'round for hours
'Cause you hate going home
When you can talk about her
Even say their name
Start thinking you'll survive
You'll never be the same
That's how you know

There's no such thing as a long goodbye
When you wish it would have lasted your whole life

You don't need a cigarette
Or a pill to help you sleep
You don't end every night
On the hardwood 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
You know
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
You're moving on
You're moving on
You're moving on
You're moving on
You're moving on
You're moving on
You're moving on
You're moving on
You're moving on
You're moving on
