If You Don't, Don't - Jimmy Eat World

what's wrong baby?
don't they treat you like they should?
did you take them for it
or every penny that you could?
we once walked out on the beach and once i almost touched your hand
o, how i dreamed to finally say such things
then only to pretend

don't you know i'm thinking?
driving 405 past midnight
you know i miss you
ninth and ash on a tuesday night
i would write to you from museum mile
toast to you:
your whisper
your smile
up the stairs at the wheatherford
a ghost each place i hide

i left you waiting
at the least could we be friends?
should have never started
ain't that the way it always ends?
on my life i'll try today
there's so much i've felt i should say but
even if your heart would listen i doubt i could explain

so here we are now
a sip of wine
a sip of water
someday maybe
maybe someday we'll be smarter
i'm sorry that i'm such a mess
i drank all my money could get,
took everything that you had and never loved you back

would you mean this please if it happens?
won't you get your story straight?
if you don't know, honey why'd you just say so?
i need this now more than i ever did
if you don't know,
well honey,
then you don't
