Lyrics

Left my home and a best friend
The places I could hide
For a city of six-lane highways
And lots of traffic lights

But I'm tryin' to grow roots here
Keep my feet on the ground
But, sirens swim and circle
The shore that I have found

Well, it's only been a few months
And I can't tell the difference
Was I happy in the quiet?
All the open-handed distance

From the people and their parties
Where no one really talks
Distractin' from the thought of you
And all those late night walks

'Cause if I don't, call you up
Then I don't have to feel down
And if I don't, say I miss you
Then you never have to be around

If I don't, say I love you
Then you don't have to love me
See how simple, the unsaid keeps things?

And Lucy gave me a readin'
King of Cups and Queen of Wands
And in the middle, a perfect picture
Of everythin' I want

And I laugh 'cause it makes sense
But somethin' leaves me feelin' wrong
I know you're not a perfect picture
But my heart, it won't shut up

'Cause if I don't, call you up
Then I don't have to feel down
And if I don't, say I miss you
Then you never have to be around

If I don't, say I love you
Then you don't have to love me
See how simple, the unsaid
