I Thought You Ought to Know Lyrics Meanings
by Alex Cowles

I've got some walk left in my feet
Though my knees are gonna catch
I dreamed about the two of us
Wand'ring the snowy Noquamenon

I hear the chorus in the distance
Singing muted tones
Vying just to return
To their well-heated homes

And why did I
Long to go
And why should I
Dive when I can't swim
So I will wait
To paint the blue eyes in the snow
I thought you ought to know

The hazy city lights
Have a deep warming glow
I wrap the coat my grandfather gave me
Tight around my bones

And why did I
Long to go
And why should I
Dive when I can't swim
So I will wait
To paint the blue eyes in the snow
I thought you ought to know
