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
