Was it the way he tied his shoes?

The careful way he placed them in my hallway

I saw it all change or just the same, the same as it’s always been

I’ve always known better, I’m never taken

Till I was taken in, glad not to know better

To know the pleasure of being somewhere

Oh, in your youth, you wanted to know only the truth

Left with so little, you felt like you’d been robbed

I sat down beside you so lost

And you feel like love would not hold still for you

The sun dropped and the evening brought a chill that you shivered through

For all you knew

You expect to be moved, to be shaken and shuddering

Ah, but when you shook, you were not moved

And I can’t do this for you, if you won’t allow me to
