Know Now Then lyrics

It's not so much that we got closer
It's that her face just go tbigger
And by the time it was filling up my whole view
I figured my face had got bigger too
So i used it ot try and way her
Say something to her
Make my case
But my face
Never had a chance
All along it was the wrong song and dance
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/ani_difranco/know_now_then.html ]
I just stood there
Without even a stance
Helpless to her advance
And her retreat
Backspace, delete

It wasn't so much that we fell in love as
My life just seemed to come down
To a slow walk on a straight line
Between her smile and her frown
And maybe we never were as close
As we should have been
But i didn't know what i now now, then
Yeah, i didn't know what i know now, then
