I know a girl, she knows the world
In ways so many don't
She's always one for company
But don't mind her being alone
She dreams too big and sleeps too little
And rises before the sun
When the midnight oil turns saints to sinners,
She rivals before the dawn

Oh, how lucky am I to know a girl

I know a girl, she knows the world
In ways so many won't
Her interest in something less
Is quicksand to the stone
She binds her time,
She writes and bites her nails down to the quip
Her soul is wise and breadwood high,
Her roots are wild and string

Oh, how lucky am I to know a girl
Yeah, how lucky am I to love a girl

She's the light that you leave on before you come to bed
She's the aching in your heart,
She's the song inside your head

Oh, how lucky am I to love a girl

I know a girl, I know a girl
In ways so many won't
I've seen her sweet, her veterans beat,
Her breakdown to the bone
I let her in under my skin,
She lets me take her home
She's never less, simply the best,
The best I've ever known

How lucky am I to know a girl
Yeah, how lucky am I to love a girl
