lyrics

Don't tell me that you tried
It's simple, you didn't
You would've woken up in time
To sit and listen
To my official goodbye
Nothing too permanent

I can't say I didn't cry
In a cafe that afternoon
While I internalized
What I thought I meant to you
A little below permanence

I didn't think it too much to ask
That you would let me in on
what you might want
When I get back

So you arranged for snow to fall
And covered the tracks of
Your footsteps down the hall
The wrong hallway, at best
Those won't be too permanent

I didn't think it too much to ask
That you would let me in on
What you might want
When I get back
I didn't think it too much to ask
That you would wake up
And come here like we planned

Ask me all the wrong questions
Don't hear what I answer
I'm living like a guest, in this place I do remember
And I can't be the one to get you where you wanted
We both know you're gonna leave
I'd like to know when it's happening

I didn't think it too much to ask
That you would let me in on
what you might want
When I get back
I didn't think it too much to ask
That you would wake up
And come here like we planned
I didn't think it too much to ask
That you would let me in on
What you might want when I get back
