Goodbye Rocketship

[Verse 1]
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 look for our memories, and their clothing, and their eyes

[Chorus]
You didn't know, you didn't know

[Verse 2]
You're there when I need you, we talk on the phone
I know that you've been trying to build us a home
Yet I scramble to find one with couches and boys
But all I hear's an echo, the sound of your voice

[Chorus]
You didn't know, you didn't know

[Verse 3]
You may have 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

[Chorus]
You didn't know how to raise me
Any more than I knew how to grow up
Childhood is over, and it wasn't enough

[Verse 4]
But Nina's in the garden and Rascal's on the roof
The charges against you, I know I have no proof
So goodbye to the Chelsea, goodbye to the rocket ship
There's only room for you and me there
And there's so much more to fit

[Chorus]
You didn't know, you didn't know
You didn't know, you didn't know
You didn't know, you didn't know
