unsaid Lyrics by Tomberlin
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 trying 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
Distracting 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 reading
King of cups and queen of wands
And in the middle, a perfect picture
Of everything I want
And I laugh ’cause it makes sense
But something leaves me feeling wrong
I know you’re not a perfect picture
But my heart, it won’t shut off
‘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
