"if you don't, don't"
by jimmy eat world

what’s wrong baby?
don’t they treat you like they should?
did you take them for it?
or every penny that you could
we once walked out on the beach and once I almost touched your hand
o, how I dreamed to finally say such things
then only to pretend
don’t you know i’m thinking?
driving 405 past midnight
you know i miss you
don’t you know that i miss you
ninth and ash on a tuesday night
i would write to you from museum mile
toast to you:
your whisper
your smile
up the stairs at wheatherford
a ghost each place i hide

if you don’t don't why would you say so?
would you mean this please if it happens?
if you don’t know, why would you say so?
won’t you get your story straight
if you don’t know, honey, why'd you just say so?
i need this now more than I ever did
if you don’t well, honey, then you don’t

i left you waiting,
at the least could we be friends?
should have never started
ain’t that the way it always ends?
on my life I'll try today
there’s so muchI've felt I should say, but
even if your heart would listen
i doubt i could explain

if you don't don't why would you say so?
would you mean this please if it happens?
if you don’t know, why would you say so?
won’t you get your story straight
if you don’t know, honey, why'd you just say so?
I need this now more than I ever did
if you don’t well, honey
then you don’t

so here we are now
a sip of wine
a sip of water
someday maybe
maybe someday we’ll be smarter
and I’m sorry that I’m such a mess
i drank all my money could get,
took everything you let me have and then i never loved you back

if you don’t don't know why would you say so?
would you mean this please if it happens?
if you don’t know, why would you say so?
won’t you get your story straight?
if you don’t know, honey, why'd you just say so?
i need this now. yeah i need this, need this
if you don’t, well, honey, then you don’t
and if you don’t, well, honey then you don’t
if you don’t know honey
honey, then you don’t
