If You Don't, Don't

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

Oh, how I dreamed to finally say such things

Then only to pretend



Don't you know I'm thinking? (know I'm thinking)

Driving 405 past midnight

Don't you know I miss you? (don't you know I miss you?)

Ninth and ash on a Tuesday night



I would write to you from Museum Mile

A toast to you

Your whisper

Your smile



Up the stairs at the Weatherford

A ghost each place I hide



CHORUS:

If you don't know

Why would ya say so?

Would you mean this please if this happens?

If you don't know

Why would ya say so?

Won't you get your story straight?

If you don't know, honey

Why'd you just say so?

Cuz I need this now

More than I ever did

If you don't know, honey

Then you don't



I left you waiting (I left you waiting)

At the least could we be friends?

Should have never started (never started)

Ain't that the way it always ends?



On my life I'll try today

There's so much I've felt I should say but

Even if your heart would listen

I doubt I could explain



CHORUS



If you don't, well honey

Then you don't



(Do, do, do...)



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 never loved you back



CHORUS



If you don't, well honey

Then you don't

If you don't, well honey

Then you don't



If you don't know, honey

Honey, then you don't
