I've been better It'd be better if you called Called, yeah Cuz I can't handle a face-to-face right now You'd replace my silence with your mouth Standing here unsteady, I'm off the ground Get me on a train, so I don't see you around Mmm I almost asked about your brother When I passed you on the street I almost asked about your mother She and I never got to meet Meet Well, ten thousand things that I remember (I have to) Pretend that I forgot (I have to, for you) You're treating me like I'm a stranger Did you forget that I am not? What kind of difference would it make If I tell you about my day? Cuz you don't care like you used to So I'll just stare like I'm used to I used to hear you when you thought Yeah we shared an awful lot I got to know you like partners But we came short cuz your heart hurt Won't make a difference if you say That you thought of me today Yeah, we may as well let dead air be dead air But sometimes I regret giving you back your sweater No I can't handle a face-to-face right now You'd replace my silence with your mouth Standing here unsteady, I'm off the ground I'm staying on this train To get to outta your town I'm staying on this train, so I don't see you around I'm staying on this train, hope I don't see you around
