lyrics

i stood at the edge of that town
standing at the water's edge, looking down
we camped out in the oil fields
i got up at dawn
something inside felt wrong

i wish i could describe it
i need so badly to explain this feeling
quiet voice, cold eyes
embrace from behind
your touch, loose hoodie
the house was empty
i felt like screaming

you asked me what i'd look like if
but i said i didn't know
i didn't say and you didn't ask
but we knew

the desert air touched everything
the shape of that town
a memory of something
too big to process
too big to know at all

i don't know why you held me then
the way you did
things insignificant to you
feel so looming
i didn't say and you didn't ask
i was so confused by you
i didn't say and you didn't ask
what that place was doing
i didn't say
you didn't ask

and everything went just as it should have
and i didn't ask.
