I heard

That you′re moving away

Fumbled in my pockets for a final wordI tell you, don't be late

Smile when you tell me you wont

Shuffle your feet and you don′t

Want to read between the air of silence

Then the rain begins

I don't want to love you

I want to learn you

But I'd love to know you well

So long

To your family home

I wonder if you′ll ever get that feeling back?

Your family home

Covered my eyes with your hands

Walked me through all of your plans

I told you I could see it all, but all I saw was you

Through the space in your fingers

I don′t want to love you

I want to learn you

But I'd love to know you well

You say

All the people you know

All are slowly dying from a silent cause

Their quiet desperation

I walk you home in the rain

Pass by the yellow line train

Thought that I was different when you looked at me

But this quiet desperation is killing me too

Is killing me too

And I don′t want to love you

I want to learn you

But I'd love to know you well
