When You Know Lyrics – Jonas Brothers

When You Know Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1: Nick Jonas]
He’s feeling confused and emotionally dizzy, like his thoughts are spinning around nonstop. He remembers the carefree times they had, acting like kids, but now those happy memories are fading. He’s alone in bed, feeling shy and distant, while the ceiling fan above spins just like his mind. He wishes he could stop overthinking and bring himself back to calm.

[Pre-Chorus: Joe Jonas & Nick Jonas]
He’s wondering how everything passed by so fast. It felt like he had time under control, but clearly, he didn’t. They used to live by a shared belief or dream, but somehow, that disappeared without them noticing.

[Chorus: Joe Jonas & Nick Jonas]
Sometimes, you just know in your heart when something is real. Whether it’s time to stay or move on, there’s a deep feeling that guides you. He’s not scared to admit that he still hopes the other person feels the same. That strong connection he feels hasn’t changed—he’s sure this person is the one.

[Post-Chorus: Joe Jonas & Nick Jonas]
No matter what, it was always you in his heart.

[Verse 2: Nick Jonas]
He compares their relationship to a worn-out coin that always lands the same way—no matter what they do, the outcome doesn’t change. They keep repeating the same patterns, almost like it’s a game they can’t stop playing. He closes his eyes and loses his way in thoughts, wishing he could go back to the better times or at least escape it all for a little while.

[Pre-Chorus: Joe Jonas & Nick Jonas]
He’s still thinking about how quickly everything changed. It felt like they had a plan or a bond, but it’s gone now—lost without either of them meaning for it to happen.

[Chorus: Joe Jonas & Nick Jonas]
That unshakable feeling returns again. When you know someone is meant for you, it sticks with you no matter how far you drift. He’s being honest about still hoping the love is mutual. Deep down, he’s always believed it’s been them all along.

[Post-Chorus: Joe Jonas & Nick Jonas]
Still, he knows—this person has always been the one.

[Bridge: Joe Jonas & Nick Jonas, Nick Jonas]
He’s feeling the pain of all the things he never got to say. It’s heavy and hard to carry, like her presence still lingers on his chest. He’s willing to take responsibility for the past if that’s what it takes. In the end, that inner knowing—that unshakable truth—just won’t go away.

[Chorus: Joe Jonas & Nick Jonas]
Once again, he circles back to that feeling. He knows, deep down, who he truly wants and where he belongs. Whether they’re together or apart, his hope is still alive, and he wants her to feel the same. No matter what happened, she’s always been the one in his heart.

[Post-Chorus: Joe Jonas & Nick Jonas]
It’s never changed—she’s always been the one.

[Outro: Joe Jonas & Nick Jonas, Nick Jonas, Joe Jonas]
He repeats over and over how sure he is about her. It’s like trying to convince himself and her at the same time. That inner voice keeps saying, when you know, you just know. It doesn’t need to be explained—it’s a gut feeling that sticks no matter how things change. Even when it’s time to leave, that hope is still there, strong as ever. He truly hopes she feels it too, because for him, it’s always been her. Every part of him, even after everything, still points back to her.
