I might have known...

"I might have known you would come back so early."
What does that mean?
1. (a softer way of saying) "I knew you would come back..."?
2. "I think I had known you were coming back..., but I forgot"?
Thank you.

It is actually a stronger way of saying #1, as it is often used; a closer literal equivalent is I should have known (because I consider you reliable/hasty/eager/ etc-- depending on the context).
