Goodbye Rocketship

I do what you tell me
Like it's my idea
I came down to find you
Pretend that you're here

And I never could replace you
It's too dark to try
But I'll look for our memories
In their clothing and eyes

You didn't know
You didn't know

You're there when I need you
We talk on the phone
I know that you been trying
To build us a home

Yet I scramble to find one
With couches and boys
But all I hear is an echo
The sound of your voice

You didn't know
You didn't know

You may more to teach me
But what haven't I heard?
Listening is easy
But learning is earned

I forgive you and I thank you
You know all the reasons why
I'm sorry and I love you
All we can do is try

You didn't know how to raise me
Any more than I know how to grow up
And childhood is over
And it wasn't enough

Nina's in the garden
And rascals on the roof
The charges against you
I know I have no proof

Goodbye to the Chelsea
Goodbye to the rocket ship
Only room enough for you and me
There is so much more to fit

You didn't know
You didn't know
You didn't know
You didn't know
You didn't know
You didn't know
