Know You Better

I love depth in music. 

Sometimes it grabs me right away. But oftentimes I'll listen to a song or album and not get the full weight of it until several listens later. 

Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran's "Everything Has Changed" is one of those songs. I'm pretty sure it's a love song between a guy and girl, but it could easily be a love song to God. Somewhere in my listening I realized my heart had started singing along... "I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now." 

The lyrics have become my heart's plea to my Father, who tells us to be still and know Him. 

His eyes look like coming home.

I am His and He is mine. 

I dust off my highest hopes...I know a new found grace.

All my days, I'll know His face

All I know is...everything has changed.

Everything Has Changed

Written by Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran

all i knew this morning when i woke
is i know something now, know something now i didn’t before
and all i’ve seen since 18 hours ago
is green eyes and freckles
and your smile in the back of my mind making me feel like
i just want to know you better, know You better, know you better now
I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now
i just want to know you, know you, know you...

CHORUS
cause all i know is we said hello
and your eyes look like coming home
all i know is a simple name
everything has changed
all i know is you held the door
you'll be mine and i’ll be yours
all i know since yesterday
is everything has changed

and all my walls stood tall, painted blue
i'll take ‘em down, take ‘em down
and open up the door for you
and all i feel in my stomach is butterflies, the beautiful kind
makin’ up for lost time, takin’ flight making me feel like
i just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now
i just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now
i just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now
i just want to know you, know you, know you...

REPEAT CHORUS

come back and tell me why
i'm feeling like i’ve missed you all this time
and meet me there tonight
let me know that it's not all in my mind
i just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now
i just want to know you, know you, know you...

REPEAT CHORUS

all i know is we said hello
so dust off your highest hopes
all i know is pouring rain
and everything has changed
all i know is a new found grace
all my days i’ll know your face
all i know since yesterday
is everything has changed

What secular songs have spiritual meaning for you? Are there songs that pull you deeper every time you listen to them?
