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 Thеn I don't have to feel down And if I don't say I miss you Then you nevеr 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 (Ooh)
