Intro verse 1 Thought I'd never be waking on the kitchen floor But here I lie, not the first time Now my morning has broken, and it brings the fear My mind's falling, falling Pre-Chrous Then I feel my pulse quickening But regrets can't change anything Yeah, I feel my pulse quickening When your name lights up the screen Oh joy, when you call me I was giving up, oh, I was giving in Joy, set my mind free I was giving up, oh, I was giving in Post-Chorus How'd you always know when I'm down? How'd you always know when I'm down? verse 2 Take a walk through the wreckage, clearing out my head I hear your eyes roll right down the phone I'm your walking disaster, keep on dragging me From self-pity, poor me Pre-Chrous Then I feel my pulse quickening But I wouldn't change a thing Oh joy, when you call me I was giving up, oh, I was giving in Joy, set my mind free I was giving up, oh, I was giving in Post-Chorus How'd you always know when I'm down? ) How'd you always know when I'm down? Bridge As the night dissolves into this final frame You're a sweet relief, you saved me from my brain From my brain, from my brain, from my brain Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh joy, when you call me I was giving up, oh, I was giving in Joy, set my mind free I was giving up, oh, I was giving in Post-Chorus How'd you always know when I'm down? How'd you always know when I'm down? Outro I feel joy when you call me I feel joy when you call me (I-I-I feel joy) I feel joy when you call me I feel joy when you call me How'd you always know when I'm down? How'd you always know when I'm down?
