A Silent Cause Lyrics by The Paper Kites

twelvefour

2015

[Verse 1]
I heard that you're movin' away
Fumbled in my pockets for a final word
And I tell you, "Don't be late"
Smile when you tell me you won't
Shuffle your feet and you don't
Want to read between the air of silence
Then the rain begins
[Chorus]
I don't want to love you
I want to learn you
But I'd love to know you well
[Verse 2]
So long to your family home
I wonder if you'll ever get that feeling back
Your family home
Covered my eyes with your hands
Walked me through all of your plans
I told you I could see it all
But all I saw was you
Through the space in your fingers
[Chorus]
I don't want to love you
I want to learn you
But I'd love to know you well
[Verse 3]
You say all the people you know
All are slowly dying from a silent cause
From their quiet desperations
I walk you home in the rain
Pass by the yellow line train
Thought that I was different when you looked at me
But this quiet desperation is killin' me too
It's killin' me too
[Chorus]
I don't want to love you
I want to learn you
But I'd love to know you well
