And I know this Is just a beautiful illusion A case of the confusion

Artist- Alison Krauss and Union Station
Song of the day- If I didn't know any better

So I'm not saying today's song is my favorite Krauss song, but I'm not saying it's not. Written by another fantastic artist, Mindy Smith, I can't exactly say why i love it so much but I do. I suppose it has something to do with the hint of sadness it still carries, having a completely confused heart, not knowing what to trust, but Krauss sings it with a hint of a smile behind it all. That smile that carries both fear and intrigue about the unknown, unknown love, unknown future, unknown everything that even when you don't know any better your heart pulls you forward. It's kinda scary and kinda nice at the same time. If you are looking for something scary and nice, today's song is for you.



I turned around
Before I could run
I found you already settled down
In the back of my mind
I know this is just a customary fever
The moon is a deceiver
That will leave you running blind

Your heart is pullin'
If I didn't know any better
I'd be fallin' deeper and deeper it's true
I'd hear it callin'
If I didn't know any better
And I'd be in love with you

Didn't want to
Look in the eyes of the one that
I would be drawn to
I'm a moth lost in a fire
And I know this
Is just a beautiful illusion
A case of the confusion
Between love and desire

Your heart is pullin'
If I didn't know any better
I'd be fallin' deeper and deeper it's true
I'd hear it callin'
If I didn't know any better

And I'd be in love
When the flame burns out
And finally settles down
You'll forget
I ever came around

Your heart is pullin'
If I didn't know any better
I'd be fallin deeper and deeper it's true
I'd hear it callin'
If I didn't know any better
And I'd be in love with you

I turned around
Before I could run
I found you already settled down
In the back of my mind
