about

A friend of mine recently commented that with each chorus of They Don't Know You he heard the meaning subtly change. ‘They don't know you… they don't know you like I do’. At once it is tender, empathetic and yet it is also cautionary. To know someone on a deeper level is to know their dark side. This song was written for my hometown of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia at a time when I never thought I’d go back yet also felt its nearly unconscious pull.

I’d close my eyes and picture myself being pulled along the twisting roads that led to the cape with it’s lone lighthouse. Passed over by tourism, there were places like this where I could be totally alone (or with my girlfriend or buddies around a campfire). Through all this nostalgia there is also a permeating fog of sadness. As I pictured my body floating along that road I felt all the darkness right there with me, as if it were the hand pulling me or the ghost following behind.

I wrote the second verse for my mother. Her and I pulled off the highway for gas as we were leaving Marion County, Indiana, the hometown that for her carried a similar sadness. We were cleaning out her childhood farmhouse after her mother died. She looked back at the highway from the gas pumps and said, ‘You know, I may never come back’.

lyrics

Tethered me to the coast, a thin black rope.
Throw it over your shoulder but you’ll never let it go… slowly drags you back home.
They don’t know you. They don’t know you like I do.
Highway exit underpass. The moment you know is your last.
Look over your shoulder, with an awkward laugh, ‘I may never come back’.
They don’t know you. They don’t know you like I do.

Ooh baby. Ooh baby.
Oh, nobody knows, seventeen years and you can’t crack the code.
Oh, nobody knows, sink so deep that you can’t climb out.
Ooh baby, carve your name in the wall you’ve been raising.
Ooh, baby, carve your name in your own grave.
Oh, nobody knows, seventeen years and you can’t crack the code.
Oh, nobody knows, sink so deep that you can’t climb out.

They don’t know you. They don’t know you like I do.
